The book covers in detail both concepts and practices of resistance breeding to abiotic stresses. It has references of the original, important work on various aspects. The topics and sub-topics have been dealt with specific examples from as many different crop plants as possible. It is hoped that the book will be useful to students, teachers and researchers engaged for the improvement of crop plants to abiotic stresses through genetic manipulations.
