Description

Plant breeding is seen as an attractive approach to the problem of abiotic stress because it is seen as an efficient and economic means to increase crop yield. The book is helpful for plant breeders working in the field of abiotic stress tolerance breeding. It also provides information regarding mechanism of salt tolerance in rice. Human exploitation of earth's resources is leading to new problems day by day and hence newer methods are devised to overcome the same. One such case is breeding for abiotic stress, utilizing even non arable land, to feed the ever increasing population. A major stress leading to yield loss can be due to inland and coastal salinity. Rice is the most important cereal crop which feeds humans on earth. Abiotic stress and biotic stress breeding are essential ways to combat yield reduction. Scientists around the world are putting in their best efforts to produce varieties and hybrids with improved heterosis under stress affected environments. The article aims to review the efforts put in by breeders to solve salinity associated problems. The book is also come up with some tolerant cultivars suited to sodicity. These new hybrid combinations may used to develop sodicity tolerant and mid-early duration varieties. Here we discussed some breeding strategies to develop varieties tolerant to sodicity.
