Plants being sessile organisms, face environmental challenges and climate change
scenarios, that often occur simultaneously (as dual or multifactorial) rather than as a single …

The initial idea for writing this book was formulated during a discussion between us (the
book authors) supported by the positive feedback of Dr. Helmy who had already published a …

The growing food demands and increasing urbanization are putting pressure to obtain more
crop productivity from the shrinking piece of land. Climate change is further complicating the …

Multiple biotic and abiotic environmental factors may constitute stresses that affect plant
growth and yield in crop species. Advances in plant physiology, genetics, and molecular …

Abiotic stresses of the environment, such as soil salinity, drought, extreme temperatures
(heat and cold), light, water supply, nutrient deficiency, excess levels of metals within the …

Plants are the basic source of food for humans, birds, and animals because of which they
occupy the primary position in the food chain. Being the immovable organisms, plants have …

Plant growth and productivity are limited by various types of abiotic stresses. While
significant advances have been made in understanding the plant adaptation in stress …

Abiotic stress is a multifarious factor that mainly affects the growth and yield of crop plants
worldwide. Crop production is highly affected by abiotic stresses including drought, water …

In nature, plants are simultaneously exposed to number of biotic and abiotic stresses (BS
and AbS), hence adversely affecting the overall plant growth and crop productivity. BS are …

Abiotic stresses, such as drought, temperature extremes and salinity, are the major
constraints on crop yield and quality in fields. Transcriptomics, proteomics and …
