Abiotic Stresses: Plant Resistance Through Breeding and Molecular Approaches explores innovative methods for breeding new varielties of major crops with resistance to environmental stresses that limit crop production wrldwide. Experts provides the basic principles and techniques of plant breeding and examines work that has been done in relation to improving resistance in specific important world food crops. This timely resource is divided into two sections. The first section presents: The general principles of breeding crops for stress resistance genetic engineering and molecular biology procedures for crop improvement for stress environments data on genome mapping and its implications for improving stress resistance in plants information about breeding for resistance/tolerance to salinity, drought, flooding, metals, low nutrient availability, and high/low temperatures The second section of Abiotic Stresses: Plant Resistance Through Breeding and Molecular Approaches focuses on the efforts of acknowledged specialists toward improving wheat, barley, tomato, rice, maize, cotton, and oilseed crops. With as tables and figures that illustrate the research finding, this book will help scientists and academics examine, modifty, and improve breeding programs about the world.
