Abiotic Stress In Underground Vegetables Response and Mitiga

Abiotic Stress in Underground Vegetables provides comprehensive information on the morphological, physiological, and biochemical responses of various underground vegetable crops to abiotic stress and the strategies for managing these crops under these conditions. Climate changes pose major challenges to the productivity and yield of crops, particularly horticultural crops that bear their edible parts underground. Underground vegetable crops are highly nutritious, non-cereal plant species grown in various agro-ecological zones and play a significant role in feeding both people and animals around the world as well a providing industrial products. To address the range of challenges created by climate changes, it is crucial to understand the physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of crops to abiotic stress and the potential mechanisms of resistance and mitigation. Presented in two parts, Stress Responses and Stress Mitigation, Abiotic Stress in Underground Vegetables offers a detailed exploration of reactions of different underground vegetable crops to abiotic stress, along with effective management strategies for cultivating these crops. This book is an essential resource for researchers, students, crop growers, and all stakeholders in the field of crop sciences who are interested in improving the yield and productivity of these vital crops.
