Book Description
Global climate change affects crop production through altered weather patterns and increased environmental stresses. Such stresses include soil salinity, drought, flooding, metal/metalloid toxicity, pollution, and extreme temperatures. The variability of these environmental conditions pared with the sessile lifestyle of plants contribute to high exposure to these stress factors. Increasing tolerance of crop plants to abiotic stresses is needed to fulfill increased food needs of the population. This book focuses on methods of improving plants tolerance to abiotic stresses. It provides information on how protective agents, including exogenous phytoprotectants, can mitigate abiotic stressors affecting plants. The application of various phytoprotectants has become one of the most effective approaches in enhancing the tolerance of plants to these stresses. Phytoprotectants are discussed in detail including information on osmoprotectants, antioxidants, phytohormones, nitric oxide, polyamines, amino acids, and nutrient elements of plants. Providing a valuable resource of information on phytoprotectants, this book is useful in diverse areas of life sciences including agronomy, plant physiology, cell biology, environmental sciences, and biotechnology.

Languages : en
Pages : 564
Book Description
Developing climate-smart crops is vital to securing food security around the world. This new book discusses the state-of-the-art technologies that can help to mitigate plant abiotic stresses in cultivated crops. It covers the current aspects of climate-resilience agriculture, including the crucial physiological, biochemical, and molecular aspects of cultivated crops under stress conditions, which play a pivotal role in developing climate-smart crops. The volume explores breeding, omics, genetic engineering, bioengineering of metabolic pathways, artificial intelligence, and more. Key features: Addresses the current and future challenges of climate changes on food security Details the impact of different biotic, abiotic stresses, along with their interactions and effect on crop plants in climate-changing scenarios Gives a comprehensive account of molecular mechanisms associated with different stresses in crop plants Discusses advances in breeding and biotechnological techniques to tackle the different stresses in challenging climatic fluctuations Highlights various emerging approaches and technologies currently being used in developing climate-smart crops Provides success stories of crop improvement against the different stresses.
