Optimizing Plant Health under Abiotic Stress Environments: Ensuring Food and Nutritional Security

Optimizing Plant Health under Abiotic-Stress Environments: Ensuring Food and Nutritional Security presents a comprehensive review of important mineral nutrients in plants and effective management strategies under abiotic stress environments. Abiotic stresses negatively affect crop yields, and crop health is essential to ensuring global food security. There exists an urgent need to develop more abiotic stress-resistant and -tolerant crop varieties to ensure food and nutritional security. Optimizing Plant Health under Abiotic-Stress Environments: Ensuring Food and Nutritional Security presents a comprehensive review of important mineral nutrients in plants and effective management strategies under abiotic stress environments. The optimization of significant traits for abiotic stress tolerance creates effective breeding programs contributing to the development of next-generation crop varieties. FEATURES: Discusses plant breeding and using biotechnological approaches to address the issue of food and nutritional security Presents information on how mineral nutrient homeostasis influences plant growth, nutrient enhancement, and crop yield under abiotic stresses Contains information on biofortification, QTL mapping, Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), and genetic analysis for improving nutritional value of plants Covers agronomical, breeding, physiological, molecular, and biotechnological approaches to promoting yields and enhanced nutrient availability for crop improvement Optimizing Plant Health under Abiotic-Stress Environments: Ensuring Food and Nutritional Security is ideal for researchers and scientists looking for guidance on ways to improve agricultural productivity and useful for plant breeders; agriculturalists; and students.
