Abiotic stresses such as drought, high salt, cold, heat, UV radiation, heavy metal pollution, etc., are increasingly responsible for restricting plant growth and agricultural production and are becoming more alarming due to threats from global climate change. To combat these threats, this new 3-volume set provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that mediate biosynthesis, accumulation, and degradation of plant metabolites to improve crop production and enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants.
Volume 1: Secondary Metabolites in Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses exclusively on the diverse secondary metabolites that play a major role in the adaptation of plants to the environment and in overcoming stress conditions as well as their implications in enhancing tolerance mechanisms. The book presents information on the protective roles rendered by a wide array of antioxidative secondary metabolites and their regulation during diverse environmental stress.
Volume 2: Trace Elements in Environmental Stress Tolerance throws light on the different inorganic trace elements, including metal nanoparticles, that help to deal with various environmental stresses. While these elements at high level create considerable phytotoxicity and halt metabolic and enzymatic activity, they also promote growth and development in limited quantity, so that they have significant potential in revamping plant morphology and physiology under stressed conditions. Hence, optimum concentration management of these elements can help to mitigate world hunger and contribute toward sustainable agriculture and food security under challenging environments.
Volume 3: Sustainable Approaches for Enhancing Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses on agronomic and biochemical approaches as well as biotechnological and high-throughput technologies, including the prospects of genetic engineering, epigenetics and the latest CRISPR/Cas technology in generating stress-tolerant plants. The volume provides a clear roadmap for the implementation of techniques for improving abiotic stress tolerance in plants for better sustenance.
Aryadeep Roychoudhury, PhD, has over 20 years of research experience in the field of abiotic stress responses in plants with perspectives of physiology, molecular biology, and cell signaling under diverse stress conditions. He currently is Assistant Professor at the Department of Biotechnology, St. Xavier’s College, India and also handles several government-funded projects on abiotic stress responses in rice. To date, he has published many books, book chapters and over 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He is a regular reviewer of articles in high-impact international journals, a life member of several scientific associations and societies, and the recipient of a Young Scientist Award 2019, conferred by the International Foundation for Environment and Ecology, at the University of Allahabad, India. His name is included in the Stanford University’s List of the World’s Top 2% Scientists.
