This book provides up-to-date knowledge of the promising field of Nanobiotechnology with emphasis on the mitigation approaches to combat plant abiotic stress factors, including drought, salinity, waterlog, temperature extremes, mineral nutrients, and heavy metals. These factors adversely affect the growth as well as yield of crop plants worldwide, especially under the global climate change. Nanobiotechnology is viewed to revolutionize crop productivity in future.

The chapters discuss the status and prospects of this cutting-edge technology toward understanding tolerance mechanisms, including signaling molecules and enzymes regulation in addition to the applications of Nanobiotechnology to combat individual abiotic stress factors. 

Provides a comprehensive overview of the role of nanobiotechnology in understanding stress physiology and developing abiotic stress tolerant crops Presents cutting-edge knowledge on abiotic stress factors including drought, salinity, waterlog, temperature extremes, mineral nutrients, and heavy metals Covers current knowledge and future prospects of nanobiotechnology to achieve sustainable agriculture and enhanced food security under climate change Focuses on emerging topics like signaling molecule, oxidative stress, and reactive species Exhibits chapters authored by an assemblage of internationally reputable scientists reflecting their own experience and globally available relevant literature Illustrates concepts with high-quality color figures and supported with tabulated data
