Background
Environmental stresses are the most important limiting factors for
agricultural productivity. The agriculture sector thus faces a big challenge
to meet the requirements of food and raw materials for ever increasing
population of the world. Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, extremes
in temperatures, heavy metals and radiation, etc. have detrimental effects on
plant growth and yield. To overcome these limitations and improve agricultural
production, stress tolerant crops have to be developed. Plant improvement
using biotechnology and conventional breeding and proper management will lead
to alleviation of the adverse impact of environmental stresses on plant
productivity.
