"Developing Climate Resilient Crops; A window for improving global food security and safety project is timely, as the world is gradually waking up to the fact that a global food crisis of enormous proportions is brewing. Climate change is creating immense problems for the agricultural productivity worldwide, resulting in higher food prices. This book elucidates the causative aspects of climate modification related to agriculture, soil and plants, and discusses the relevant resulting mitigation process and also how new tools and resources can be used to develop climate resilient crops . Salient Features: Addresses the limits of the anthropogenic global warming theory advocated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Presents the main characters (drought tolerance, heat tolerance, water use efficiency, disease resistance, nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen fixation, and carbon sequestration) necessary for climate resilient agriculture. Delivers both theoretical and practical aspects, and serves as base line information for future research. Provides valuable resource for those students engaged in the field of environmental sciences, soil sciences, agricultural microbiology, plant pathology, and agronomy. Highlights factors that are threatening future food production"--

"Evidence raises every day of the varying climate and its impression on both plants and animals. Climatic changes influence all the agriculture factors, which can potentially adversely affect their productivity. Plant activities are intimately associated to climate and concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The book Climate change and Plants Interactions: Complexities and Surprise examines how plant growth characters influences/influenced by the climate change both in past and present scenarios. The book cover papers present the cutting-edge research in key determinates of plant growth in response to atmospheric CO2 enhancement and global warming. Salient Features Discourses numerous goals of sustainable development goals projected by the UN as part of the 2030 agenda. Highlights the appropriate approaches for maintaining better plant growth under changing climatic conditions Presents diversity of techniques used across plant science. Design to cater to the needs of researchers, technologists, policy makers and undergraduates and postgraduates' students studying, sustainable crop production, crop protection. Addresses plant responses to atmospheric CO2 increase"--
