Plant Growth Regulators to Manage Biotic and Abiotic Stress in Agroecosystems is a comprehensive book that explores the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) as effective stress-reduction techniques in agricultural environments. This book investigates the role of PGRs in handling biotic and abiotic stressors, offering useful insights to agriculturalists, researchers, and students. The book provides a comprehensive overview of many PGRs, including their methods of action and impacts on plant growth and development. It describes the use of PGRs to treat plant diseases caused by pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses. The book also discusses the application of PGRs to improve plant tolerance to adverse climatic circumstances including drought, salt, and extreme temperatures. The authors also underline PGRs' sustainable and environmentally friendly character, which makes them a potential option for chemical therapies. They explore PGRs' potential to improve agricultural yield and resilience, therefore helping food security in a rapidly changing global environment. This book is an excellent resource for learning about the applications and advantages of PGRs in modern agriculture.

This book highlights the transformative impact of CRISPR-Cas9 in modern agriculture. It explains how this precise and efficient gene-editing technology enhances crop resilience to biotic stresses like pests, pathogens, and viruses, as well as abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, and cold. By targeting key genes responsible for plant defense and stress responses, CRISPR enables the development of high-yield, climate-resilient crops. The book emphasizes CRISPR’s simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and potential to improve global food security, making it a cornerstone of sustainable agricultural biotechnology.

Abiotic and biotic stress factors, including drought, salinity, waterlog, temperature extremes, mineral nutrients, heavy metals, plant diseases, nematodes, viruses, and diseases, adversely affect growth as well as yield of crop plants worldwide.
