Molecular Mechanism in Plants to Combat the Metal Stress -- Molecular and Biochemical Approaches for Combating Multiple Abiotic Stresses in Staple Crops of Arid and Semi-Arid Region -- Promising Transcriptional Factors Responsible for Salt and/or Drought Tolerance -- Autophagy in Plant Stress Tolerance -- An Update on Molecular Strategies for Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Rice -- Receptor Like Kinases and Environmental Stress in Plants -- Arsenic in Rice Grain: Role of Transporters in Arsenic Accumulation -- Genomics and Transcriptomics Advances to Study Environmental Response in Plants -- Role of Plant Heat Shock Transcription Factors in Abiotic Stress -- Molecular Biology of Glandular Trichomes in Plants and their Functions in Environmental Stresses -- Marker-based Assessment of Seed Purity of Elite Indian Rice Varieties for Climate Smart Agriculture.

This book discusses molecular approaches in plant as response to environmental factors, such as variations in temperature, water availability, salinity, and metal stress. The book also covers the impact of increasing global population, urbanization, and industrialization on these molecular behaviors. It covers the natural tolerance mechanism which plants adopt to cope with adverse environments, as well as the novel molecular strategies for engineering the plants in human interest. This book will be of interest to researchers working on the impact of the changing environment on plant ecology, issues of crop yield, and nutrient quantity and quality in agricultural crops. The book will be of interest to researchers as well as policy makers in the environmental and agricultural domains.
