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. Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM) are receiving increasing attention from agronomists and environmentalists as candidates to develop an effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural (e.g., chemical fertilizers and pesticide) and remediation (e.g., chelators-enhanced phytoremediation) methods employed to deal with climate change-induced stresses. Recent studies have shown that plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), rhizobia, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), cyanobacteria have great potentials in the management of various agricultural and environmental problems.

New ways to improve cereal crops against fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases are covered in this book that was put together by a group of experts. These include genetics, genome editing systems, and nano-biotechnological tools. Cereal crops are mainly the world''s leading food crops and feed a large share of the world population. However, external factors, such as pathogens, have often threatened their productivity. Like wheat, rice, maize, oats, barley, millet and storage, etiology, epidemiology, and diseases in cereal crop management. In addition, the importance of crop genetics and genomics in combating pathogens has been discussed. This book offers up-to-date information on new methods, such as the potential of the genome editing system for crop improvement, in particular the CRISPR-Cas system. The current volume also talks about identification, plant breeding, genome editing, and nanotechnology tools that can be used to fight disease in cereal crops. This book is good forstudents, teachers, and researchers who study biotic stress in cereals, as well as scientists who study nanotechnology, disease resistance, pathogen biology, genome editing, agriculture sciences, and future biotechnology.

This book covers all aspects of biotic stress, with detailed focus on elicitors to alleviate adverse effects on plant development and growth. Elicitors are substances that can trigger plants to mount defenses against biotic stressors. Exogenous elicitor application prior to stress events modifies transcription factors, enhancing plant resilience. This book explores the role and applications of elicitors that activate a plant''s immune system, leading to increased resistance against biotic stressors. This book also explains how elicitors, both abiotic and biotic, can trigger physiological and morphological responses and phytoalexin accumulation. By reducing reliance on harmful pesticides, this guide fosters a more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural approach. "

This book is a resource for researchers, agricultural professionals, and farmers seeking solutions to combat biotic stress in crops. Whether you''re a seasoned grower or just starting out, this book provides practical strategies and insights to safeguard your crops and achieve a healthier, more productive harvest, empowering you to cultivate a thriving future for your crops and the environment.
