Plant Abiotic Stress Physiology, 2-volume set, highlights the various
innovative and emerging techniques and molecular applications that are
currently being used in plant abiotic stress physiology. Volume 1:
Responses and Adaptations focuses on the responses and adaptations of
plants to stress factors at the cellular and molecular levels and offers
a variety of advanced management strategies and technologies. Volume 2:
Molecular Advancements introduces a range of state-of-the-art molecular
advances for the mitigation of abiotic stress in plants.
With contributions from specialists in the field, the volume emphasizes
the broad variety of themes, addressing the management approaches of
abiotic stress factors in plants. The chapters in Volume 1 first discuss
the physiology and defense mechanisms of plants as well as the various
kinds of stress, such as from challenging environments and climate
change, nutritional deficiencies, among others. The volume goes on to
discuss specific state-of-the-art management techniques. These include
genetics approaches for improving abiotic stress tolerance in crop
plants along with CRISPR/CAS-mediated genome editing technologies.
Next-generation climate resilient agricultural technologies are
discussed as well.
Volume 2 discusses how plants have developed diverse physiological and
molecular adjustments to safeguard themselves under challenging
conditions and how emerging new technologies can utilize these plant
adaptations to enhance plant resistance. These include using
plant-environment interactions in develop crop species that are
resilient to climate change, taking genomics and phenomics approaches
for the study of abiotic stress tolerance, employing methyl jasmonate
and salicylic acid, harnessing the CRISPR/CAS system to strengthen plant
stress resistance, and more.
Agriculture today faces countless challenges to meet the rising need for
sustainable food supplies and guarantees of high-quality nourishment for
a quickly increasing population. To assure sufficient food production,
it is necessary to address the difficult environmental circumstances
that are causing cellular oxidative stress in plants due to abiotic
factors, which play a defining role in shaping yield of crop plants.
These two volumes help to meet these challenges by providing a rich
source of information on plant abiotic stress physiology and effective
management techniques.Click here for Volume 1: Responses and
