Multiple Abiotic Stresses in Plants: Mechanisms and Management Strategies. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.Multiple Abiotic Stresses in Plants: Mechanisms and Management Strategies

Driven by the realities of global climate change, compound stress events―such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and flooding―now frequently affect crops within a single season, posing significant risks to global food security and agricultural sustainability. Multiple Abiotic Stresses in Plants: Mechanisms and Management Strategies examines how plants coordinate distinct physiological, biochemical, and molecular pathways to adapt under complex stress conditions, contrasting these mechanisms with those triggered by individual stress factors.

Chapters cover key processes including redox regulation, hormonal signaling, transcriptional control, ion transport, and metabolic adjustments. The volume also highlights advances in breeding and biotechnology―from marker-assisted selection and genome editing to nanotechnology and multi-omics approaches―alongside practical strategies for improved stress management, such as optimized nutrient use, microbial interventions, and climate-adaptive agronomy.

Comprehensive in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, this reference book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, plant scientists, and agricultural professionals by offering the strategic insight needed to anticipate, rather than react to, the evolving challenges of plant–environment interactions.

Dr. Koushik Chakraborty is a senior scientist at the Division of Crop Physiology and Biochemistry, ICAR–Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack, in India. His areas of specialization is are in abiotic stress physiology (salinity, submergence & waterlogging), molecular plant physiology (salinity tolerance mechanism, oxidative stress tolerance), membrane ion transport, and electro-physiology. He has served as a reviewer for international scientific journals, and has published over 56 scientific papers, authored/edited five books, and 27 book chapters.

Professor in the Department of Agronomy at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. My research areas include Plant Stress Physiology and Agronomy. I am interested in the physiological, morphological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms of different biotic (virus, fungus) and abiotic stress tolerance (salinity, drought, waterlogged, heavy metals) on crops.

Debarati Bhaduri is a senior scientist at ICAR–Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack, India. A soil scientist, she has made significant contributions in quantifying soil quality by integrating soil physical-chemical-biological indicators under long-term rice-wheat system of Indo-Gangetic plain. She has proposed an alternate management of crop residues to subside burning and mitigate climate change. Her other research focuses on alteration in agronomic management for submergence tolerance in rice, optimization of agrochemicals’ doses for sustaining soil ecological health, refinement of management options for saline coastal soil with nutrient balances in soil and plants, and intervention of new-generation management to improve NUE and WUE.

Somnath Roy is a senior scientist at the Central Rainfed Upland Rice Research Station, ICAR-National Rice Research Institute, Hazaribag, in India. His research focuses on rice breeding, plant genetic resource management, population genetics, and natural genetic variation for abiotic stress tolerance. He has published over 56 papers in international scientific journals, authored/edited one book, and 10 book chapters.
