Produktbeschreibung

Sustainable Crop Productivity and Quality under Climate Change: Responses of Crop Plants to Climate Change explores the physiological, biochemical, and molecular basis of the responses of major crop plants to a range of climate change scenarios. From the development of climate-resilient crop varieties which lead to enhanced crop productivity and quality to better utilization of natural resources to ensure food security through modern breeding techniques, it presents insights into improving yield while securing the environment.

Understanding the impact of climate on crop quality and production is a key challenge of crop science. Predicted increases in climate variability necessitate crop varieties with intrinsic resilience to cooccurring abiotic stresses such as heat, drought, and flooding in a future climate of elevated CO2. This book presents a much-needed mechanistic understanding of the interactions between multiple stress responses of plants that is required to identify and take advantage of acclimation traits in major crop species as a prerequisite for securing robust yield and good quality.

This book is an excellent reference for crop and agricultural scientists, plant scientists, and researchers working on crop plant ecophysiology/stress physiology and future crop production.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Fulai Liu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He received his B.Sc. in Agronomy from Beijing Agricultural University (now China Agricultural University), Beijing, China, and M.Sc. in Horticultural Science from University of Hannover, Germany. In 2004, he received his Ph.D. in Agrohydrology and Bioclimatology from The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University (now Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen). His research focuses on the physiological and biochemical regulation of growth and functioning of crop plants subjected to abiotic stresses including drought, heat, cold, salinity, and light. He has more than 140 peer-reviewed publications and has edited 1 book and contributed 6 book chapters.
