Wheat Production in Changing Environments: Responses, Adaptation and Tolerance

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 foo...
