The volume covers most of the major crops used the production of food, sugar, and commercial fiber. With the focus on sustainability and conservation issues in crop production, the chapters present molecular and physiological research and innovations for increasing yield, quality, and safety while also taking into considering increasing demand, diminishing water and land resources, and the agricultural consequences of climate change on crop production. The major crops discussed include wheat, mungbean, cotton, jute, sugarcane, eggplant, Solanum (such as potatoes and tomatoes), peppers, okra, fruits such as apples and pears, and more. The chapters report on new developments and research on production techniques related to various fertilizers, biosystematics and molecular biology of various crops, and building resistance to climatic change, including drought tolerance, salinity stresses, and more. The volume will be an important resource for students, researchers, agricultural policymakers, agronomic engineers, and agricultural faculties of universities and government agricultural research institutions in different parts of the world involved in the ecology, physiology, and biochemistry of plants."-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429469763 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
