This edited book is collection of information on molecular
interventions needed for climate-resilient forage crops. The main
focus is to address the gap in the advanced scientific knowledge
for the forage species. Agriculture is extremely vulnerable to
climate, and even slight change in climatic factors such as
temperature causes tremendous losses in yield potential. Forage
crops are crucial in global food security and environmental
sustainability and face several environmental challenges in field
conditions. However, the research on forage crops is far-off
compared to agricultural crops and causes a substantial gap in
forage demand and productivity. Further, this gap is directly
associated with animal health, reproduction, and productivity.
Abiotic stresses mainly affect the plant's crucial processes,
ultimately reducing the final yield. The problem of abiotic
stresses is more frequent in forage crops as they are growing and
cultivated in less productive soil and harsh conditions. This book
discusses current aspects of crucial physiological, biochemical and
molecular processes in forage crops, which are essential for forage
crops improvement. The text's major focus is on the advanced
technologies and approaches such as seed priming,
bio-fortification, breeding, omics, transgenic and bioengineering
of metabolic pathways in unique ways, which helps us develop
innovative solutions for forage crops. This book covers all the
crucial advance technologies, which help mitigate the abiotic
stresses in forage crops. We believe that this book will initiate
and introduce the readers to state-of-the-art developments and
unique in this field of study. This book is of interest to
teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity
builders, and policymakers. Also, the book serves as additional
reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of
agriculture, forestry, ecology, soil science, and environmental
sciences. National and international agricultural scientists and
policymakers will also find this a worthwhile read.
