Response of Field Crops to Abiotic Stress cover

Response of Field Crops to Abiotic Stress: Current Status and Future Prospects is a collection of useful scientific resources for students, researchers, and academicians on diverse aspects of abiotic stress responses in field crops. The book provides its readers with a vivid understanding of abiotic stress responses in field crops by covering diverse aspects. It offers exhaustive explanations of the impact and responses of field crops to abiotic stresses.

This book offers comprehensive coverage of:

  • Climate change impact on field crops
  • Arsenic and aluminium stress responses in field crops
  • Drought, high temperature, and flooding stress responses in field crops
  • Salinity and osmotic stress responses in field crops
  • Heavy metal stress responses in field crops
  • UV stress responses
  • Elemental biofortification
  • Reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism
  • Nutraceutical and human health
  • Computational modelling approaches for abiotic stresses in plants
  • <

"Abiotic stresses impact crop productivity negatively, often by as much as 50 percent, and the quality of products derived from such plants. Generally, abiotic stresses are considered to include either temperature or water stress. This volume devotes a large effort to documenting and exploring stress derived from heavy metals, salinity, ultraviolet radiation, and ozone. The overall scope of this volume's treatment of abiotic stresses ranges from individual cells to field dynamics of crop response. A critical and valuable component in each chapter is the "Current Status and Future Prospects" section suggesting potential strategies that can be evaluated to mitigate the impact on crop productivity."
