Advancements in Developing Abiotic Stress-Resilient Plants

<p>Plants often encounter abiotic stresses including drought salinity flooding high/low temperatures and metal toxicity among others. The majority of these stresses occur simultaneously and thus limit crop production. Therefore the need of the hour is to improve the abiotic stresses tolerance of crop plants by integrating physiology omics and modern breeding approaches. This book covers various aspects including (1) abiotic stress responses in plants and progress made so far in the allied areas for trait improvements (2) integrates knowledge gained from basic physiology to advanced omics tools to assist new breeding technologies and (3) discusses key genes proteins and metabolites or pathways for developing new crop varieties with improved tolerance traits.</p>
