This book presents recent advances in global wheat crop research, including the effects of abiotic stresses like high and low temperatures, drought, hypoxia, salinity, heavy metals, nutrient deficiency, and toxicity on wheat production. It also highlights various approaches to alleviate the damaging effects of abiotic stress on wheat as well as advanced approaches to develop abiotic-stress-tolerant wheat crops. Wheat is probably one of the world’s most important cereals; it is a staple food in more than 40 countries, and because of its adaptability is cultivated in almost every region. Global wheat production has more than doubled in the last 50 years due to higher yields. However, despite their high yield potential, modern wheat cultivars are often subject to crop loss due to the abiotic stresses. As such, plant breeders have long aimed to improvetolerance in order to maintain yield. Written by 85 experts, and offering the latest insights into wheat responses and tolerance to various abiotic stresses, it is a valuable tool for agronomists, plant breeders, plant physiologists and students in the field of plant science and agriculture. It is the first book to comprehensively cover past and current abiotic stress problems and tolerance mechanisms.

Climate Change and Food Security with Emphasis on Wheat is the first book to present the full scope of research in wheat improvement, revealing the correlations to global issues including climate change and global warming which contribute to food security issues. Wheat plays a key role in the health of the global economy. As the world population continuously increases, economies modernize, and incomes rise, wheat production will have to increase dramatically to secure it as a reliable and sustainable food source. Since covering more land area with wheat crops is not a sustainable option, future wheat crops must have consistently higher yields and be able to resist and/or tolerate biotic and abiotic stresses that result from climate change. Addressing the biophysical and socioeconomic constraints of producing high-yielding, disease-resistant, and good quality wheat, this book will aid in research efforts to increase and stabilize wheat production worldwide. Written by an international team of experts, Climate Change and Food Security with Emphasis on Wheat is an excellent resource for academics, researchers, and students interested in wheat and grain research, especially as it is relevant to food security. - Covers a wide range of disciplines, including plant breeding, genetics, agronomy, physiology, pathology, quantitative genetics and genomics, biotechnology and gene editing - Explores the effect of climate change on biotic stresses (stripe rust, stem rust, leaf rust, Karnal bunt, spot blotch) on wheat production and utilization of biotechnology - Focuses on whole genome sequencing and next-generation sequencing technologies to improve wheat quality and address the issue of malnutrition in developing world

This book presents the state-of-the-art in plant ecophysiology. With a particular focus on adaptation to a changing environment, it discusses ecophysiology and adaptive mechanisms of plants under climate change. Over the centuries, the incidence of various abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, extreme temperatures, atmospheric pollution, metal toxicity due to climate change have regularly affected plants and, and some estimates suggest that environmental stresses may reduce the crop yield by up to 70%. This in turn adversely affects the food security. As sessile organisms, plants are frequently exposed to various environmental adversities. As such, both plant physiology and plant ecophysiology begin with the study of responses to the environment. Provides essential insights, this book can be used for courses such as Plant Physiology, Environmental Science, Crop Production and Agricultural Botany. Volume 1 provides up-to-date information on the impact of climate change on plants, the general consequences and plant responses to various environmental stresses.

Climate change remains a global challenge due to the livelihood threat it poses particularly to the marginalized or vulnerable groups in society. Though developing countries contribute the least to the cause of climate change, they remain the most vulnerable to its effects. This vulnerability is due to the over-reliance of the population on rain-fed agriculture as the main livelihood source. These, mainly smallholder farmers, lack institutional, technological, infrastructural, and economic capabilities to adapt to climate change. In addition to this, there are wide disparities in the allocation of key sustainable livelihood assets (e.g., land, livestock, farm equipment, etc.) among men, women, and youth. For instance, women often have limited access to land, financial services, social capital, technology, labour, education, and other opportunities mainly due to traditional/cultural sex divisions within the domestic realm. Moreover, the majority of the resource-poor youth are employed in the agricultural sector, rendering them more vulnerable to climate uncertainties. The impact of climate change on these groups (men, women, youth, and smallholders) is expected to be different. Studies that fail to acknowledge these differences and focus only on geographical location could be misleading. Recent climate change scenarios indicate substantial reductions in the yield of staple foods linked to drought, high temperature, and rainfall variability with a projected overall decline in revenue from agriculture. These projected negative impacts would directly influence food security and render millions of households undernourished. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, between 720 and 828 million people across the globe are already experiencing chronic hunger. Additionally, about 161 million children below five years of age are stunted.

The complex of ecological problems in Central Asia, especially in Uzbekistan, is linked to rapid ongoing demographic and economic processes. However, geographical location has its own peculiarity. Aridity of the climate in Uzbekistan makes water resources as main limiting factor for sustainable economic development (Chub et al., 1998; RECCA, 2011). Annual precipitation, ranging from 80-200 mm in plain to 300-400 mm in foothills and 600-800 mm in mountain rangelands (Chub, 2007), is considerably lower than the evaporation demand of atmosphere (FAO IPTRID et al., 2004). Thus, agriculture, accounting about 90% withdrawal of total available water resources in Uzbekistan, is impossible without irrigation (Qadir et al., 2009). Moreover, agricultural production is highly vulnerable to climate change (Lioubimtseva & Henebry, 2009). High fluctuation of precipitation and temperature increase may influence land use in irrigated lands, create difficulties in water management at regional and local scales, and increase competition of scarce water resources among water users in various sectors.

A considerable change in climate at a global level will impact the vegetable cultivation and agriculture as a whole; subsequently affecting the world's food supply. Climate change per se is not necessarily harmful; the problems arise from extreme events that are difficult to predict (erratic rainfall patterns and unpredictable high and low temperatures), and consequently reduce crop productivity. Vegetables are in general more succulent (have 90% water) and are more sensitive to climatic vagaries. Sudden changes in temperature coupled with irregular precipitation at any phase of crop growth can affect the normal growth, flowering, pollination, fruit setting, fruit development and fruit ripening can decrease the yield. The irregular precipitation can also affect the soil salinity and is a major challenge in many vegetable growing areas. To mitigate the harmful impact of climatic change there is a urgent need to develop adequate adaptation strategies for adverse effect of climate change and the preference should be given on development of heat, cold, drought, flood and salinity stress tolerant genotypes along with climate proofing through conventional and non-conventional breeding techniques. Available evidence shows that there is a high probability of increase in the frequency and intensity of climate related natural hazards due to climate change and hence increases the potential threat due to climate change related natural disasters in the world. This book (Volume- I) will be basically useful for the researchers and postgraduate students with current challenges and mitigation strategies for increasing vegetable production under a changing climate.
