Alharby1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (505 pages)Includes index.3-030-06117-5 Plants have to manage a series of environmental stresses throughout their entire lifespan. Among these, abiotic stress is the most detrimental; one that is responsible for nearly 50% of crop yield reduction and appears to be a potential threat to global food security in coming decades. Plant growth and development reduces drastically due to adverse effects of abiotic stresses. It has been estimated that crop can exhibit only 30% of their genetic potentiality under abiotic stress condition. So, this is a fundamental need to understand the stress responses to facilitate breeders to develop stress resistant and stress tolerant cultivars along with good management practices to withstand abiotic stresses. Also, a holistic approach to understanding the molecular and biochemical interactions of plants is important to implement the knowledge of resistance mechanisms under abiotic stresses. Agronomic practices like selecting cultivars that is tolerant to wide range of climatic condition, planting date, irrigation scheduling, fertilizer management could be some of the effective short-term adaptive tools to fight against abiotic stresses. In addition, “system biology” and “omics approaches” in recent studies offer a long-term opportunity at the molecular level in dealing with abiotic stresses. The genetic approach, for example, selection and identification of major conditioning genes by linkage mapping and quantitative trait loci (QTL), production of mutant genes and transgenic introduction of novel genes, has imparted some tolerant characteristics in crop varieties from their wild ancestors. Recently research has revealed the interactions between micro-RNAs (miRNAs) and plant stress responses exposed to salinity, freezing stress and dehydration. Accordingly transgenic approaches to generate stress-tolerant plant are one of the most interesting researches to date. This book presents the recent development of agronomic and molecular approaches in conferring plant abiotic stress tolerance in an organized way. The present volume will be of great interest among research students and teaching community, and can also be used as reference material by professional researchers.Plant breedingPlant physiologyAgriculturePlant Breeding/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060Plant Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020Agriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Plant breeding.Plant physiology.Agriculture.Plant Breeding/Biotechnology.Plant Physiology.Agriculture.581.7Hasanuzzaman Mirzaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHakeem Khalid Rehmanedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtNahar Kamrunedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAlharby Hesham Fedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337947303321Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance2224713UNINA
