Abiotic Stress and Legumes: Tolerance and Management is the first book to focus on the ability of legume plants to adapt effectively to environmental challenges. Using the -omic approach, this book takes a targeted approach to understanding the methods and means of ensuring survival and maximizing the productivity of the legume plant by improving tolerance to environmental /abiotic stress factors including drought, temperature change, and other challenges.The book presents a comprehensive overview of the progress that has been made in identifying means of managing abiotic stress effects, specifically in legumes, including the development of several varieties which exhibit tolerance through high yield using transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and ionomic approaches. Further, exogenous application of various stimulants such as plant hormones, nutrients, sugars, and polyamines has emerged as an alternative strategy to improve productivity under these environmental challenges.Abiotic Stress and Legumes: Tolerance and Management examines these emerging strategies and serves as an important resource for researchers, academicians and scientists, enhancing their knowledge and aiding further research.

Enables readers to understand the ability of salicylic acid in reducing the effects of abiotic stresses in different crop species

Salicylic acid is an important plant hormone which acts as a multifunctional molecule and regulates key physiological and biochemical processes in plants. This book highlights the tremendous potential of treating plants with salicylic acid, either prior to or during stress. It focuses on the specific challenges and opportunities related to exogenous application or priming technology, such as the mode of application, new methodologies, and the potential impacts of salicylic acid on the environment. Sample topics covered in the book include:

This book will be of significant interest to researchers, academics, and scientists working in the field of salicylic acid mediated responses in plants under challenging environments and with abiotic stress tolerance.

This edited book is a comprehensive collection of information on microplastics and their existence within the environment. The main focus of this book is to address the ecological aspect of microplastics and their degradation of the ecosystem. It deals with the distribution, persistence, fate, and remediation of microplastics with novel strategies such as nanoparticles, beneficial microbes, biofilms, enzymatic processes, bio-nano materials, biotechnological and other sustainable approaches.

The widespread presence of microplastics in the environment has led to major concerns, thereby orienting the studies on the interactions within the environment among plants and soil microbiome. The variety and properties of microplastics in the environment make their interactions more complex. The emergence of new ecological sites will also affect the ecosystem of water and soil. This title compiles updated aspects and information about the remediation practices and the fateof microplastics in the environment.

The book focuses on eco-friendly, eco-efficiency and novel practices to deal with microplastic pollution. This book is of interest and useful to agricultural professionals, environmentalists, industrialists, field-level extension workers, planters, industrial entrepreneurs, ecologists, and a valuable source of reference to the relevant researchers and students in the region.
