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.

"This volume delves into various aspects of the metabolic activities of plants under abiotic stress. Specifically, it examines techniques for enhancing yield potential and improving adaptiveness to adverse environmental conditions. Furthermore, the book explores how an understanding of the changes in physiological mechanisms can contribute to the comprehension of the yield structure under abiotic stress. The chapters included in this book are: 1. Abiotic Stress and Metabolic Responses in Plants 2. Abiotic Stress and Secondary Metabolites in Plants 3. Microbes: Support and Protect Plants against Abiotic Stresses 4. Abiotic Stress and Physiological Traits in Plants 5. Abiotic Stress and Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) in Plants

Abiotic Stress and Plant Physiology, Volume 01: Metabolic Activities

"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.
