About the Book:
This volume—Volume 19 of the acclaimed Advances in Plant Physiology series—presents a valuable compilation of authoritative research contributions by eminent scientists in specialized domains of plant science. It continues the series’ mission to bridge the gap between basic research and its applications for improving agricultural productivity, sustainability, and resilience, especially in the face of abiotic stress.

The book is divided into six thematically rich sections, including special supplements, offering deep insights into emerging technologies and physiological strategies for enhancing crop performance. Major highlights include:

• Adaptation of photosynthesis to fluctuating light conditions

• Melatonin’s role in plant growth and its potential in managing abiotic stress

• Proteomics for evaluating metal toxicity in crops

• Impact of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) on plant development

• Crop adaptation strategies under climate change scenarios

The Special Supplement section comprises two focused reviews:

1. Photosynthetic adaptations to varying light

2. The promising role of melatonin in stress mitigation

The first section offers two chapters dedicated to cutting-edge technologies in plant science research.

This volume is an essential reference for:

• Researchers and academics in plant physiology and crop science

• Students of agricultural and biological sciences

• Professionals working on climate-resilient agriculture, abiotic stress physiology, and plant biotechnology

With its global perspective and technical depth, the book is a significant academic asset for university libraries, research institutions, and policy think tanks involved in agricultural innovation.
