Driven by the realities of global climate change, compound stress events-such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and flooding-now frequently affect crops within a single season, posing significant risks to global food security and agricultural sustainability. Multiple Abiotic Stresses in Plants: Mechanisms and Management Strategies examines how plants coordinate distinct physiological, biochemical, and molecular pathways to adapt under complex stress conditions, contrasting these mechanisms with those triggered by individual stress factors.Chapters cover key processes including redox regulation, hormonal signaling, transcriptional control, ion transport, and metabolic adjustments. The volume also highlights advances in breeding and biotechnology-from marker-assisted selection and genome editing to nanotechnology and multi-omics approaches-alongside practical strategies for improved stress management, such as optimized nutrient use, microbial interventions, and climate-adaptive agronomy.Comprehensive in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, this reference book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, plant scientists, and agricultural professionals by offering the strategic insight needed to anticipate, rather than react to, the evolving challenges of plant-environment interactions.Explores adaptive changes in plant structure and anatomy under combined stress conditions, enabling readers to link morphological traits with functional outcomes in real-world crop systemsDemonstrates how nutrient dynamics, soil amendments, and beneficial elements contribute to stress alleviation, elucidating actionable pathways for improving plant performance under multiple stress conditionsHighlights the integration of Internet of Things-enabled sensor networks for early detection and mitigation of multiple abiotic stresses in plants

Rice is an essential food source for numerous people worldwide, particularly in regions where malnutrition is prevalent. However, traditional rice varieties often lack vital micronutrients, leading to widespread malnutrition and associated health problems. To address this issue, the process of biofortification, which involves enhancing the nutritional content of crops, presents a promising solution. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the impact of rice biofortification on nutritional security, focusing on improvements in micronutrients, protein, and other nutritional traits. Drawing from existing literature and research findings, the book explores the strategies and approaches employed in rice biofortification, the resulting effects on micronutrient consumption and health outcomes, and the contributions of biofortified rice to overall nutritional security. Furthermore, the book discusses challenges and considerations in the adoption and scaling up of biofortified rice production, as well as potential future directions for research and implementation in India.
