Nanotechnology for abiotic stress tolerance and management in crop plants
This comprehensive volume explores the impact of abiotic stress on global agriculture and presents advanced strategies for managing these stresses in crop plants. Edited by Ramesh Namdeo Pudake, Ravi Mani Tripathi, and Sarvajeet Singh Gill, the book delves into topics such as plant breeding, genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and nanotechnology. It highlights molecular mechanisms, including RNAi technology and gene editing, for improving stress tolerance in major crops. The book also examines the role of nanoparticles and plant-wearable sensors in monitoring and enhancing plant resilience. Intended for researchers and practitioners in agricultural science, this work aims to provide insights into sustainable agricultural practices and innovative solutions for ensuring food security under challenging environmental conditions.
