Climate change threatens the sustainable agriculture with its rapid and unpredictable effects, making it difficult for agriculturists and farmers to respond to the challenges cropping up from environmental stresses. In light of population growth and climate changes, investment in agriculture is the only way to avert wide scale food shortages. This challenge comes at a time when plant sciences are witnessing remarkable progress in understanding the fundamental processes of plant growth and development. Plant researchers have identified genes controlling different aspects of plant growth and development, but many challenges still exist in creating an apt infrastructure, access to bioinformatics, and good crop results. <i>Improvement of Crops in the Era of Climatic Changes, Volume 2 </i>focuses on many existing opportunities that can be applied methodically through conventional breeding, without touching upon the latest discoveries such as the power of genomics to applied breeding in plant biology.Written by a diverse faction of internationally famed scholars, this volume adds new horizons in the field of crop improvement, genetic engineering and abiotic stress tolerance. </p><p>Comprehensive and lavishly illustrated, <i>Improvement of Crops in the Era of Climatic Changes, Volume 2 </i>is a state-of-the-art guide to recent developments vis-à-vis various aspects of plant responses in molecular and biochemical ways to create strong yields and overall crop improvement.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Dr. Parvaiz Ahmad<br>Department of Botany, Sri Pratap College, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India</p><p>Dr. Mohd Rafiq Wani<br>Department of Botany, Govt.
