Sustainability Sciences in Asia and Africa

This book discusses the physiological, biochemical, and molecular strategies employed by oilseed crops to alleviate the effects of abiotic stress. It also covers the positive role of exogenous stimulants in enhancing oilseed crop production under these conditions. Strategies for improving tolerance in oilseed crops to various abiotic stressors, including salinity, drought, waterlogging, flooding, extreme temperatures, nutrient deficiency, heavy metal toxicity, and UV radiation, are discussed in detail. Additionally, the book includes a section on omics approaches and nanotechnological strategies for building resilience.Focusing on oilseed crops under abiotic stress, this book provides new and updated information for plant scientists, researchers, and scholars. Covering various stress-related topics, it is a unique and valuable resource.
