Textbook in PDF format

The global climate is changing in an unpredictable manner due to anthropogenic activity over the last five to six decades. It is predicted that agricultural crops may face extreme climate change in the form of increases in temperature, drought, flood, and increases in sea level that will lead to intrusion of salt on arable land. These abiotic stress factors are the key growth stressors that adversely affect natural resources and sustainable production of crops through various changes in molecular, biochemical, physiological, and morphological parameters. These stress factors pose a serious threat to food and nutritional security to this world, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries.
