Abiotic Stresses in Wheat: Unfolding the Challenges

Abiotic Stresses in Wheat: Unfolding the Challenges presents the current challenges, possibilities, and advancements in research-based management strategies for the adaptation of wheat crop under abiotic stressed growth conditions.Wheat is a major staple food crop that has largely been of focus for fulfilling the food requirements of the world's population during the Green revolution. As a result, it now covers more agricultural land as compared to any commercial crop and remains the main source of food grain for humans. Continuously changing environmental conditions have drastically affected the wheat production in recent years, however, and its yield has been largely limited by various abiotic stress conditions. To improve wheat yield, it is necessary to have a look into different abiotic stress-based mechanisms that affect wheat productivity.This book comprehensively discusses different abiotic stress conditions in wheat, and covers all the current trends of their mitigation using advanced tools to develop resilience in wheat crop. Chapters of the book provide insight into the genetic, biochemical, physiological, molecular and transgenic advances and emerging frontiers for mitigating the effects of wheat abiotic stresses.Abiotic Stresses in Wheat: Unfolding the Challenges is the first resource to include all the abiotic stresses in one volume, providing important translational insights and efficient comparison.
