\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNanotechnology for Abiotic Stress Tolerance and Management in Crop Plants\u003c/i\u003e reviews the most recent literature on the role of nanomaterials in achieving sustainability in crop production in stressful environments. This book explores the adverse conditions caused by abiotic stress to crop plants, and the methods by which these conditions can be potentially overcome through developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology.  \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, temperature stress, excessive water, heavy metal stress, UV stress etc. are major factors which may adversely affect the growth, development, and yield of crops. While recent research for ways of overcoming the physiological and biochemical changes brought on by these stresses has focused on genetic engineering of plants, additional research continues into alternative strategies to develop stress tolerant crops, including the use of nanoscience and nanotechnology.  \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProviding an in-depth summary of research on nanomaterials and nano-based devices for field monitoring of crops, this book will serve as an ideal reference for academics, professionals, researchers, and students working in the field of agriculture, nanotechnology, plant science, material science, and crop production. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePresents advancements in our understanding of molecular and physiological interactions between nanoparticles and crop plants\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes figures and illustrations to help readers visualize and easily understand the role of nanomaterials\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eServes as an ideal reference for those studying smart nanomaterials, biosensors, and nanodevices for real-time plant stress measurement\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
