Overview

Response of Field Crops to Abiotic Stress: Current Status and Future Prospects is a collection of useful scientific resources for students, researchers, and academicians on diverse aspects of abiotic stress responses in field crops. The book provides its readers with a vivid understanding of abiotic stress responses in field crops by covering diverse aspects. It offers exhaustive explanations of the impact and responses of field crops to abiotic stresses. This book offers comprehensive coverage of: Climate change impact on field crops Arsenic and aluminium stress responses in field crops Drought, high temperature, and flooding stress responses in field crops Salinity and osmotic stress responses in field crops Heavy metal stress responses in field crops UV stress responses Elemental biofortification Reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism Nutraceutical and human health Computational modelling approaches for abiotic stresses in plants

"""Abiotic stresses impact crop productivity negatively, often by as much as 50 percent, and the quality of products derived from such plants. Generally, abiotic stresses are considered to include either temperature or water stress. This volume devotes a large effort to documenting and exploring stress derived from heavy metals, salinity, ultraviolet radiation, and ozone. The overall scope of this volume's treatment of abiotic stresses ranges from individual cells to field dynamics of crop response. A critical and valuable component in each chapter is the ""Current Status and Future Prospects"" section suggesting potential strategies that can be evaluated to mitigate the impact on crop productivity."" — J. L. Hatfield, formerly, USDA-Agricultural Research Service, September 2023 issue of CHOICE"

Author Information

Shuvasish Choudhury is a Ph.D. graduate from Assam University, Silchar, and Assistant Professor of Plant Biology in the Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University, Silchar, India. He is extensively working on understanding the biochemical, molecular, and metabolomic basis of abiotic stress responses and tolerance in field crops. His research interests include arsenic and acid soil stress responses in rice, biochar for arsenic and heavy metal mitigation in agro-ecosystem, and drought stress responses in field crops. His current work focuses on abiotic stress mitigation through nutrient management strategies, seed priming technology, and environmentally sustainable approaches. Debojyoti Moulick is a Ph.D. graduate from University of Kalyani, India, and a Research Associate in the Plant Stress Biology and Metabolomics Laboratory (CIL), Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University, Silchar, India, under the Research Associateship (RA) program of Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India. His research interest includes understanding agro-ecotoxicology and proposing suitable mitigation of options. He has extensively worked on arsenic stress mitigation in rice using seed priming technology and related mitigation approaches.
