Climate Change and Crop Stress: Molecules to Ecosystems

Climate Change and Crop Stress: Molecules to Ecosystems expounds on the transitional period where science has progressed to 'post-genomics' and the gene editing era, putting field performance of crops to the forefront and challenging the production of practical applicability vs. theoretical possibility. Researchers have concentrated efforts on the effects of environmental stress conditions such as drought, heat, salinity, cold, or pathogen infection which can have a devastating impact on plant growth and yield. Designed to deliver information to combat stress both in isolation and through simultaneous crop stresses, this edited compilation provides a comprehensive view on the challenges and impacts of simultaneous stresses. Presents a multidisciplinary view of crop stresses, empowering readers to quickly align their individual experience and perspective with the broader contextCombines the mechanistic aspects of stresses with the strategic aspectsPresents both abiotic and biotic stresses in a single volume INDICE: 1. Overview of climate change and crops stress - single and simultaneous stress in crops, its combinations and mechanisms2.
