This comprehensive book delves into a diverse range of topics within the realm of abiotic stress responses in plants, with a specific focus on "problems and their management." By selecting some of the extensively researched themes, the book aims to provide valuable insights into various aspects of abiotic stress tolerance in plants. These themes include:

Cell Signaling in Plants during Abiotic and Biotic Stress: Understanding the intricate mechanisms by which plants respond to environmental stresses, including both abiotic and biotic factors.

Salinity Stress Induced Metabolic Changes and Its Management: Exploring the metabolic adaptations and strategies employed by plants to cope with salt stress, a common abiotic stressor in many agricultural environments.

High Temperature Stress: Responses, Mechanisms, and Management: Examining the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying heat stress and the techniques used to mitigate its detrimental effects on plant growth and productivity.

Low Temperature Stress Induced Changes in Plants and Their Management: Investigating the physiological and biochemical alterations that occur in plants under low temperature conditions and the strategies employed to enhance their tolerance and resilience.

Biotechnological Approaches to Improve Abiotic Stress Tolerance: Discussing the use of genetic engineering, molecular breeding, and other biotechnological tools to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants.

Nutritional Poverty in Wheat under Abiotic Stress Scenario: Analyzing the impact of nutrient deficiencies on wheat growth and productivity under abiotic stress conditions, highlighting the importance of proper nutrient management for sustainable agriculture.

Strategies for Improving Soil Health under Current Climate Change Scenario: Exploring the strategies and practices for maintaining soil health and fertility in the face of climate change, including the use of cover crops, conservation tillage, and soil amendments.

Abiotic Stress Management in Pulse Crops: Focusing on the specific challenges and strategies associated with abiotic stress in pulse crops, such as chickpea, lentil, and pea, and exploring innovative approaches to improve their productivity and resilience.

Mitigation Strategies of Abiotic Stress in Fruit Crops: Discussing the various mitigation strategies employed in fruit crops to mitigate the effects of abiotic stress, including the use of irrigation, fertilization, and crop management practices.

Impacts of Abiotic Stress and Possible Management Options in Vegetable Crops: Examining the impacts of abiotic stress on vegetable crops, including crop yield, quality, and sustainability, and exploring potential management options to address these challenges.

Abiotic Stress: Impact and Management in Ornamental Crops: Exploring the unique challenges and strategies associated with abiotic stress in ornamental crops, such as flowers, ornamental trees, and turf, and discussing the importance of proper care and maintenance for their healthy growth and productivity.

This book is an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Plant Physiology, Biochemistry, Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Environmental Sciences, and other cognate disciplines of agriculture and allied sciences. It also serves as a valuable reference for research workers in various fields related to plant sciences. We firmly believe that this book will offer comprehensive and up-to-date information on abiotic stress problems and their management in plants, facilitating a deeper understanding and effective management of these crucial environmental factors.
