Plant Stress Tolerance is written by Jen-Tsung Chen and published by CRC Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1003543235 (ISBN 10) and 9781003543237 (ISBN 13).

Plant Stress Tolerance: Molecular Mechanisms and Breeding Strategies, Volume Two explores methods of precise management of biotic stressors including pests and pathogens. This is based on advanced molecular technologies including mutagenesis, genetic engineering, genome-wide association study, marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, molecular marker-based platforms, functional genomics, multiple omics tools, high-throughput technologies, computational biology, epigenetic manipulation, and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based genome editing. This book proposes strategies involving immunity-boosting through releasing genetic resources from naturally resistant plants, regulating defense systems by phytohormones, promoting disease tolerance by biostimulants, and nanotechnology such as nanocarriers for managing biotic stressors. These positive approaches help to advance and accelerate breeding programs for disease-tolerant crops against various pests and pathogens. Plant Stress Tolerance: Molecular Mechanisms and Breeding Strategies, Volume Two is an ideal reference for the research fields of plant pathology, plant disease management, plant physiology, plant functional genomics, multiple omics, systems biology, and crop breeding. The book inspires ideas from the reader regarding future research on disease-resilient crops to face the challenge of global climate change and the increasing human population.
