This book aims to provide an in-depth examination of all known abiotic stresses and their impact on the various physiological processes in plants. The first chapter serves as an introduction to abiotic stress and its overall effects on crops, while the second chapter delves into the effects of stress on seed germination, seedling growth, and root development. The third chapter focuses on biological nitrogen fixation under abiotic stress, while the fourth chapter examines the growth, development, and phenology of crop plants under environmental stress. The fifth chapter explores the effects of abiotic stress on photosynthesis, and the sixth chapter discusses mineral nutrition and the role of different nutrients in overcoming abiotic stress. The seventh chapter focuses on transgenic approaches to enhance drought tolerance, while the eighth chapter examines the effects of abiotic stress on plant respiration. These review chapters highlight the importance of understanding the physiological mechanisms of crops in improving crop yield. The study of crop physiology can assist cereal breeding by improving our understanding of the factors that determine crop yield and adaptation, defining secondary traits to select, indicating the kind of genetically modified organisms with potential for development and how to test them, and phenotyping associated with marker-assisted selection.

"In recent years, India has made significant advancements in the fisheries industry. Improvements in vessel refinements, the use of new materials and line-handling systems, the preservation of catches, the availability of oceanographic sensor equipment, and the utilization of satellite technology to locate potential fishing grounds have greatly enhanced the fishing power of longline vessels. Additionally, post-harvest technology has evolved in the last decade to become more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and capable of upgrading the quality of fish.

Given that fresh fish can quickly spoil, the development of technology for post-harvest preservation and the creation of methods for converting fish into value-added products have become increasingly popular. Value addition is crucial for obtaining high prices for fishery products. It is necessary to develop skilled human resources in the field of post-harvest management of fish and the production of value-added products from them. This can be achieved by inculcating vocational and entrepreneurial skills, which will create employment opportunities, particularly for rural youth and disadvantaged sections of society, as well as enable self-employment.

"Soil acidity is a significant constraint that limits the productivity of approximately 30 million hectares of cultivated land in our country. With soil pH ranging from 4.5 to 5.5, the crop diversity, cropping intensity, and productivity in these areas are low, leading to livelihood insecurity, poverty, and slow development. The chemistry of soil acidity has been extensively researched in the field of soil science.

To address this issue, the book focuses on practical management practices for cultivating diverse crops and cropping systems, as well as plantation crops on acidic soils. Emphasis is placed on ameliorating acidic soils and improving nutrient use in crops to enhance agricultural productivity. The book also discusses the availability, quality, and cost of suitable soil amendments, as well as the prospects and challenges associated with their use.

The chapters of the book have been authored by scientists who have been engaged in this work for the past two to three decades. The Way Forward section suggests the technology and steps that need to be taken to manage these soils, as well as the expected economic benefits.

"Abiotic stressors have come to play a vital role in crop production, with some persisting in soil, water, or the atmosphere. The information on mechanisms of injury and tolerance, variability of tolerance, and breeding and biotechnology for improving crop plants resistance to abiotic stress is currently scattered throughout various journal articles and edited books.

This book aims to present this information in an organized manner, complete with up-to-date citations, providing a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the field. Emphasis has been placed on explaining injury and tolerance mechanisms and developing improved genotypes for stress environments. The book also addresses the symptoms of specific abiotic stress, soil reclamation, and crop/cropping patterns to mitigate the effects of adverse conditions. Systematic approaches for developing abiotic stress-tolerant genotypes using biotechnological tools are detailed, as are the use of molecular markers in stress tolerance and the development of transgenic plants.

The final three chapters of the book focus on the effects of air pollution and climate change on crop plants. Under abiotic stress, plants produce a large number of free radicals (oxidants), which are explained in a dedicated section on Oxidative Stress.

The book is divided into seven major sections: physical stress (salt), water stress (drought and waterlogging), temperature stress (heat and cold), metal toxicities (aluminum, iron, cadmium, lead, nickel, chromium, copper, zinc, etc.), and non-metal toxicities (boron and arsenic), oxidative stress, and finally atmospheric stress (air pollution, radiation, and climate change).

This book will be of great benefit to students, researchers, particularly plant breeders and biotechnologists, as well as botanists, who seek to understand the mechanisms of injury and tolerance and improve crop genotypes for abiotic stress.

"Abiotic stress factors, such as limited water availability, frequently restrict the growth and productivity of significant crop species. The most significant abiotic stress factor limiting crop growth globally is the scarcity of water. Although genetic improvements in yield potential are most evident in optimal environments, they also lead to increased yields under drought and nitrogen deficiency. These gains are particularly relevant considering that further extensive expansion of irrigated land is not anticipated, and land degradation resulting from intensive agriculture poses a threat to already irrigated areas.

This book aims to encompass all known abiotic stress factors and their respective consequences on various aspects of plant physiological processes.
