Book Synopsis Responses and Tolerance of Field Crops to Abiotic Stresses by : Shuvasish Choudhury

Download or read book Responses and Tolerance of Field Crops to Abiotic Stresses written by Shuvasish Choudhury. This book was released on 2022-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change has threatened global food security. There is an unrelenting need to understand various factors associated with abiotic stress and their response, adaptability and tolerance in plants, especially in field crops. Abiotic stress such as drought, flooding, soil salinity, heavy metals, metalloids, temperature variation, etc. are significantly affecting productivity and yield of field crops. The proposed book focuses on strategies pertaining to understanding of abiotic stress responses, mitigation strategies, adaptability and tolerance. Salient features: 1. Focuses comprehensively on abiotic stress perception, adaptation and tolerance in field crops 2. Useful for people doing research in agronomy, crop science, botany and plant science 3. Discusses topics such as computer- modelling and applications for abiotic stress management.

Book Synopsis Crop Stress and its Management: Perspectives and Strategies by : B. Venkateswarlu

Download or read book Crop Stress and its Management: Perspectives and Strategies written by B. Venkateswarlu. This book was released on 2011-11-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crops experience an assortment of environmental stresses which include abiotic viz., drought, water logging, salinity, extremes of temperature, high variability in radiation, subtle but perceptible changes in atmospheric gases and biotic viz., insects, birds, other pests, weeds, pathogens (viruses and other microbes). The ability to tolerate or adapt and overwinter by effectively countering these stresses is a very multifaceted phenomenon. In addition, the inability to do so which renders the crops susceptible is again the result of various exogenous and endogenous interactions in the ecosystem. Both biotic and abiotic stresses occur at various stages of plant development and frequently more than one stress concurrently affects the crop. Stresses result in both universal and definite effects on plant growth and development. One of the imposing tasks for the crop researchers globally is to distinguish and to diminish effects of these stress factors on the performance of crop plants, especially with respect to yield and quality of harvested products. This is of special significance in view of the impending climate change, with complex consequences for economically profitable and ecologically and environmentally sound global agriculture. The challenge at the hands of the crop scientist in such a scenario is to promote a competitive and multifunctional agriculture, leading to the production of highly nourishing, healthy and secure food and animal feed as well as raw materials for a wide variety of industrial applications. In order to successfully meet this challenge researchers have to understand the various aspects of these stresses in view of the current development from molecules to ecosystems. The book will focus on broad research areas in relation to these stresses which are in the forefront in contemporary crop stress research.
