Abiotic Stresses: Plant Resistance Through Breeding and Molecular Approaches

Abiotic Stresses explores innovative methods for breeding new varieties of major crops with resistance to environmental stresses that limit crop production worldwide, such as drought, salinity, flooding, and mineral deficiency. Experts examine basic principles and techniques of plant breeding as well as work done in relation to improving resistance in specific important world food crops. The book supplies extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter, as well as tables and figures that illustrate the research findings. This timely resource will help scientists and academics in botany, plant breeding, plant environmental stress studies, agriculture, and horticulture modify and improve breeding programs globally.
