Plants, being sessile organisms, are subjected to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses, and today climate change has resulted in a significant increase in incidences of abiotic stresses, which have strong impact on agriculture and food security.This new volume helps to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting plant responses to these stresses, taking a metabolomics approach in plants, which involves a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the complete set of metabolites present within plant tissues.The volume covers various approaches to understand the mechanisms of stresses and identification of traits, which are crucial to improve stress adaptation and tolerance in plants. The book discusses diverse aspects of abiotic stresses, particularly as metabolomics has emerged as an important research perspective. The chapters explore the application of metabolomics in comprehending plant responses to metalloid stress, heavy metal stress, plant-insect interaction, plant-pathogen interaction, high- and low-temperature stress, and regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.Also addressed are metabolomics-assisted breeding for the development of stress-tolerant crops, plant metabolome databases, and the use of mass spectrometry in studying plant tolerance to stress.With chapters written by experts in the field, Exploring Plant Stress Tolerance: A Metabolomics Approach will be an informative resource for plant physiologists, biochemists, and molecular biologists interested in probing this vital area of study as well as for faculty and students in plant sciences.

The essentiality of selenium (Se) is well recognized for animals and microbes. The importance of Se though documented for crops, however the essentiality aspect is still under consideration. Selenate, selenite, elemental Se and selenide, nano Se role for crops life cycle is being explored. Surprisingly, a concrete reference book is lacking that will address Se role in agriculture tracing it's journey from arable soil to spoon via crop's response (physiological, molecular, metabolomics, transcriptomics etc.) to field scale application. Moreover, the importance of Se in agriculture will be the area of prime focus with topics like Se's role in biotic, abiotic stress, biofortification under the era of globally operating climate change regime. Additionally, the contribution of Se in post-harvest phase will be given an equal importance to illustrate Se's role as well as the toxicological aspect too. In short the main challenge associate with Se it's marginal difference between beneficial /essentiality and toxicity (environmental health also) will be theme of this book with sustainable developmental goal oriented approach. Eminent researchers (early career, mid and established) across the globe will enrich this volume with their contribution and thus make this title emerged aa a valuable document for student, research scholars, faculty members and policy makers in coming years.

This book is considered a highly eco-friendly and sustainable means to improve soil quality and fertility by influencing the physico-chemical properties of the soil, increasing the mobility of essential elements, and improving the organic carbon content. Biochar has a high carbon content, and its application enhances the soil's capacity to retain nutrients, increases water-holding capacity, and decreases CH₄ emissions.This book presents to its readers a vivid account of the use of biochar in achieving sustainable agricultural goals. A wide array of topics will be covered, including:A general overview of biocharSustainable use of biochar in agriculture and animal husbandryWaste and wastewater treatmentBiochar as a sustainable engineering materialIn addition, the book provides a comprehensive account of the use of biochar in stress management and mitigation, soil fertility, and agriculture. It offers possible sustainable solutions for agriculture and environmental management, supported by recent information and up-to-date citations. We believe this book will be of immense importance to readers seeking novel ways to address sustainability issues in agriculture and environmental management.As we live in a complex environment with multiple interlinked factors playing a pronounced role in modulating our surroundings, biochar has shown its potential as an effective stress ameliorator in multiple niches and has made its mark on the circular bioeconomy. In our opinion, this edited volume will serve as a valuable reference material to summarize what has been achieved so far and where future emphasis is needed.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the causes, consequences, and solutions for salinity stress in agricultural systems. It delves into the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms through which crops respond to salinity, emphasizing the importance of understanding these processes for developing resilient crop varieties.

It is designed to serve as a vital resource for researchers, academics, students, policymakers, and practitioners, offering cutting-edge insights, practical solutions, and real-world examples.Furthermore, the book addresses innovative strategies for remediation, ranging from the genetic improvement of crops for salt tolerance to soil amendment techniques and the management of saline water resources. It emphasizes the importance of agro-ecological approaches, such as integrated farming systems and agroforestry, in mitigating salinity's impacts and enhancing agricultural sustainability. By incorporating global case studies and policy frameworks, the book highlights successful practices and initiatives that can serve as models for addressing salinity challenges in diverse agro-ecosystems. By fostering a deeper understanding of salinity stress and its management, the book aims to empower stakeholders with the tools and knowledge needed to enhance resilience in saline-affected agro-ecosystems, thereby contributing to global food security and environmental sustainability.

This book brings together the consequences and mitigation strategies of metal and metalloid contamination in agroecosystem alone or in combinations with adversities imposed by climate fluctuations. It explores the molecular responses of crops to metal exposure on a genomic, transcriptomic and metabolomic levels. It also discusses the complex interactions between reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species and heavy metal toxicity while highlighting the pivotal role of secondary metabolites in mitigating this metal-induced toxicity and accumulation. Further, the book also covers defense mechanisms in crops, and the impact of soil supplements and nanotechnology-based interventions in reducing metal toxicity. It also explores the power of artificial intelligence, machine learning and IoT-driven technologies in detecting and monitoring this environmental pollution. Finally, it implements bioavailability-based risk assessments for soil heavy metals and discusses the strategies to mitigate the consequences of toxic metals contamination in the food chain. This book is an essential resource for researchers, agronomists, environmental scientists, and policymakers dedicated to advancing sustainable agricultural practices in the face of heavy metal contamination.
