商品描述
This edited book is a comprehensive collection of scientific research on different plants under drought and salt stress conditions. The main focus of this book is to elaborate on the mechanisms being operative in plants under stress and how various biological factors mitigate the adverse effects for better plant productivity. This book covers all physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms operating under drought and saline stresses.
The current status and impact of drought and salinity on various crop plants have been elaborated on in different chapters. Agricultural lands are either turning barren or becoming more saline and drought-prone with increasing temperatures, decreasing water tables, untimely rainfall, and other environmental factors. In India, salt-affected soils occupy an area of about 6.73 million ha of which saline and sodic soils constitute roughly 40 and 60%, respectively. All these factors individually or cumulatively, affect the plant growth and development and hence, the crop productivity with the monetary loss. The inbuilt plant's ability with modified/acclimatized mechanisms has been described in various chapters with step-wise descriptions. The role of various plant growth-promoting agents including nano-particles, micro-organisms, metabolites or phytohormones, etc in mitigating adverse effects of drought and salinity has been explained precisely. Updated information on the use of speed breeding, proteomics, epigenetics, and transcriptomics in different crops along with high throughput technologies is included for the cross-talk of various network mechanisms.
This book is helpful for the readers in knowing salinity and drought through the physiological, biochemical and genetic, and molecular levels to understand plant behaviour under stress conditions. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, plant physiology, biochemistry, forestry, and environmental sciences. National and international agricultural scientists and policymakers will also find this to be a useful read.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本編輯書籍是關於不同植物在乾旱和鹽鹼壓力條件下的科學研究的綜合性合集。本書的主要重點是闡述植物在壓力下運作的機制，以及各種生物因素如何減輕不利影響以提高植物生產力。本書涵蓋了在乾旱和鹽鹼壓力下運作的所有生理、生化和分子機制。
不同章節詳細闡述了乾旱和鹽分對各種作物植物的當前狀況和影響。隨著氣溫上升、水位下降、降雨不及時及其他環境因素，農業用地要麼變得荒蕪，要麼變得更加鹽鹼化和乾旱。在印度，受鹽影響的土壤面積約為673萬公頃，其中鹽鹼土壤大約佔40%和60%。所有這些因素單獨或累積地影響植物的生長和發展，從而影響作物生產力並造成經濟損失。本書的各個章節中描述了植物內建的能力及其改良/適應機制，並提供了逐步的描述。各種促進植物生長的因子，包括納米顆粒、微生物、代謝物或植物激素等在減輕乾旱和鹽分不利影響中的作用也得到了精確的解釋。書中還包含了有關在不同作物中使用快速育種、蛋白質組學、表觀遺傳學和轉錄組學的最新資訊，以及高通量技術的交互作用。
本書對於讀者了解鹽分和乾旱的生理、生化、遺傳和分子層面，以理解植物在壓力條件下的行為非常有幫助。此外，本書也可作為農業、植物生理學、生物化學、林學和環境科學本科生和研究生的額外閱讀材料。國內外的農業科學家和政策制定者也會發現這本書是一本有用的讀物。
