About the Book
This book is a comprehensive compilation of over sixteen review articles, divided into eight significant sections, providing in-depth insights into key topics of plant physiology, biotechnology, and sustainable agriculture.

The book addresses environmental stresses, with more than seven chapters dedicated to understanding how plants respond to and manage various stress factors. Two chapters on molecular physiology/biology explore the molecular mechanisms behind plant growth and stress tolerance. The book also delves into the physiological and molecular implications of biofertilizers, including their role in phytotechnological advancements, offering a substantial chapter on their benefits and applications.

Additionally, the book examines iron nutrition and interactions in plants, the physiological pathology and biotechnological approaches to plant health, and nitrogen metabolism, providing a detailed chapter on how nitrogen influences plant growth and development. The biological nitrogen fixation process is covered in two chapters, highlighting recent molecular and physiological advances in the field.

The book also addresses physiological strategies for sustainable agriculture, offering strategies that can aid in enhancing crop production while minimizing environmental impact.

Contributions come from eminent scientists worldwide, who bring expertise from India, the U.K., the U.S.A., Argentina, Australia, Germany, Spain, France, Portugal, Israel, and Morocco. These chapters have been meticulously reviewed by consulting editors of international stature to ensure high-quality, up-to-date research that supports global agricultural and environmental objectives for the new millennium.
