1st Edition
by Zafar Abbas PhD. (Editor), Ajay Kumar Tiwari PhD. (Editor), Pradeep Kumar PhD. (Editor)
Plant physiology is now considered as an essential ingredient for
improving crop productivity, a continuing necessity with today’s
ever-increasing world population. This new volume provides an
understanding of the physiological basis of the various plant processes
and their underlying mechanisms under fluctuating environments, which is
of great importance for sustainable crop production.
Further
advances in cellular and molecular biology hold promise to modify
physiological processes, thereby improving the quality and quantity of
major food crops and ensuring stability in yield of the produce even
under severe abiotic stress. This book covers the latest information on
the physiological basis of plant productivity, including abiotic stress
adaptation and management, plant nutrition, climate change and plant
productivity, transgenic and functional genomics, and plant growth
regulators and their applications.
The chapters in this
volume tackle some of these key issues of sustainable plant production
and evolve future strategies in overcoming challenges faced by the
agricultural sector as a whole. The topics covered in this book presents
important from research reputed scientists. This volume is a rich
source of information in one place. It will be a useful resource for
researchers and extension workers involved in plant physiology and
related disciplines.
