Excellent- More about Sustainable Agriculture in the Era of Climate Change
Climate change is causing significant disturbances to natural and cultivated habitats of major crops, leading to abiotic and biotic stressors. This book summarizes strategies to manage and mitigate the impacts of climate-induced stresses, including agronomic practices and biotechnological applications, to improve crop productivity and ensure global food security. It covers a wide range of topics and provides up-to-date citations for scientists, researchers, and students working in agriculture, plant science, environmental biology, and biotechnology.

Climate change is causing significant disruptions to natural and cultivated habitats of major crops, leading to increased abiotic and biotic stressors. Abiotic stressors include drought, salinity, flood, cold, heat, heavy metals, metalloids, oxidants, irradiation, and more. Biotic stressors include diseases and infections caused by plant pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses. These stresses have become major limiting factors for agricultural productivity and negatively impact crop growth and yield. To address these challenges, scientists and researchers have developed strategies to manage and mitigate the impacts of climate-induced stresses.
This book aims to improve crop productivity by agronomic practices (genetics, breeding, phenotyping, etc.) and biotechnological applications (molecular markers, QTL mapping, genetic engineering, transgenesis, tissue culture, various omics technologies, and gene editing). It will cover a wide range of topics related to environmental challenges, agronomy, and agriculture processes, as well as biotechnological approaches. The book will discuss fundamental mechanisms and applied information on stress responses and tolerance.
The book highlights problems and offers proper solutions for crop stress management with recent information and up-to-date citations. It is suitable for scientists, researchers, and students working in the fields of agriculture, plant science, environmental biology, and biotechnology.
