Description
Abiotic Stresses in Wheat: Unfolding the Challenges presents the current challenges, possibilities, and advancements in research-based management strategies for the adaptation of wheat crops under abiotic-stressed growth conditions. This book comprehensively discusses different abiotic stress conditions in wheat, and also covers current trends in their mitigation using advanced tools to develop resilience in wheat crops. Chapters provide insight into the genetic, biochemical, physiological, molecular, and transgenic advances and emerging frontiers for mitigating the effects of wheat abiotic stresses. This text is the first resource to include all abiotic stresses in one volume, providing important translational insights and efficient comparison.- Describes advances in conventional and modern breeding approaches in countering the effect of wheat abiotic stresses- Highlights the role of physiological, biochemical and OMICS strategies- Includes coverage of biotechnological tools such as whole genome sequencing, nanotechnology, and genome editing
