Radiation stress tolerance. 14. Climate change. Colour versions of original plates in text. Index. Abiotic stresses have become an integral part of crop production. One or other persist either in soil water or in atmosphere. The information in the areas of injury and tolerant mechanisms variability for tolerance breeding and biotechnology for improvement of crop plants against abiotic stresses are lying unorganized in different articles of journals and edited books. The information provided in this book is organized in an up to date citation which will provide comprehensive literatures of recent advances. More emphasis has been given to elaborate the injury and tolerance mechanisms and development of improved genotypes against stress environments. This book also deals with the plants symptoms of particular abiotic stress reclamation of soil and crop/cropping pattern to overcome the effect of adverse condition(s). Each chapter has been laid out with systematic approaches to develop abiotic stress tolerant genotypes using biotechnological tools. Use of molecular markers in stress tolerance and development of transgenic also have been detailed. Air pollution and climate change are the hot topic of the day and thus the effect of air pollution and climate change on crop plants have been detailed in the final three chapters of this book. Under abiotic stress plant produces a large quantity of free radicals (oxidants) which have been elaborated in a separate chapter Oxidative Stress. This book has been divided into seven major parts physical stress (salt) water stresses (drought and water logging) temperature stresses (heat and cold) metal toxicities (aluminum iron cadmium lead nickel chromium cupper zinc etc) and non metal toxicities (boron and arsenic) oxidative stress and finally atmospheric stresses (air pollution radiation and climate change). Hope this book will be of greater use for the students and researchers particularly plant breeders and biotechnologists as well as the botanists to understand the injury and tolerance mechanisms and subsequently improvement of crop genotypes for abiotic stresses. 544 pp.

In this book, entitled, "Breeding, Biotechnology and Seed Production of Field Crops", emphasis has been given on principles, methods and practices in plant breeding, biotechnology in crop improvement and seed production of field crops. The book has been written for all sections of learners, educators and staff-members of seed industries. Particular importance has been underlined for postgraduate students who specialize in plant breeding and seed science. Each chapter of the book has been designed as per the recommended of syllabus of Indian Council of Agricultural Research for the postgraduate students of various Agricultural Universities in our country. This book has been divided into two major parts- i) Principles of crop breeding and ii) Methods and practices of crop improvement and seed production of individual field crop. The book contains total of 18 chapters. First three chapters are related to shed light on the basic-principles and remaining chapters deal with methods and practices of individual crop for improvement and seed production. We hope that the book will be ready to lend a hand to the advanced undergraduate students doing plant breeding in elective, postgraduate students who opted plant breeding, teachers, researchers and staff-members of private seed companies of this field of specialization.
