Climate
Change and Crop Stress: Molecules to Ecosystems expounds on the transitional
period where science has progressed to ‘post-genomics’ and the gene editing
era, putting field performance of crops to the forefront and challenging the
production of practical applicability vs. theoretical possibility. Researchers
have concentrated efforts on the effects of environmental stress conditions
such as drought, heat, salinity, cold, or pathogen infection which can have a
devastating impact on plant growth and yield. Designed to deliver information
to combat stress both in isolation and through simultaneous crop stresses, this
edited compilation provides a comprehensive view on the challenges and impacts
of simultaneous stresses.
