About the Book
This book, edited by A. Hemantaranjan, is a comprehensive collection of twelve detailed reviews on the impact of changing climatic conditions on plant physiology. It is designed to cater to a wide range of readers, including planners, scientists, investigators, academicians, and postgraduate students, offering insights on critical issues related to the influence of both macro- and micro-climates on plant physiology.

The book highlights the increasing significance of understanding abiotic and biotic stresses and their effects on the growth and development of plants, especially in light of the challenges posed by global climate change. As the environment continuously shifts, the agricultural sector faces increasing difficulties, and this book explores how genetic engineering and molecular approaches can help mitigate these challenges.

Key topics covered include:

• The genetic basis of tolerance mechanisms in crop plants under various environmental conditions.

• The interactions between abiotic and biotic stresses and their impact on agricultural productivity.

• Physiological and molecular research aimed at improving crop resilience in changing climates.

This book serves as an essential resource for those involved in agricultural research and development, focusing on the importance of coordinated efforts to tackle these pressing issues. It offers valuable insights into the future of crop improvement and the innovative strategies required to address the challenges faced by modern agriculture. Through its extensive research, the book aims to help readers understand the role of physiological and molecular approaches in enhancing crop productivity in the face of a rapidly changing environment.

The treatise will be particularly useful for those involved in climate-smart agriculture, as it consolidates ideas and findings that will be expanded in subsequent volumes of the series.
