This book covers various genomic and genetic modifications utilized to develop climate-resilient crops. Each subsequent chapter serves as a strategic response to this imperative, revealing advanced research and solutions aimed at enhancing adaptability and resilience of crops. The book traverses diverse aspects of crop breeding, including genomic-assisted breeding, the roles of transcription factors and DNA methylation, and the impact of metabolic and structural changes on crop adaptation to abiotic stress. The book concludes with discussion on the prospects of advancing crop resilience through the integration of genetic, breeding, genomic, biotechnological, and engineering innovations. This section provides insights into the current research landscape and the future of breeding stress-resilient crops.Tailored for researchers, students, and extension agents, this book meets the needs of those seeking knowledge in solutions utilized in crop breeding for agricultural sustainability in extreme climates and the associated challenges.

This book also assists in understanding the genomic adaptation to the environmental extremes at high altitude conditions.High-altitude crops are challenged by several high-altitude specific environmental stresses, i.e., extensive UV-B irradiation, extremely low temperature and intense hypoxia.
