Advances in Plant Breeding - From Techniques to Stress Tolerance presents a comprehensive overview of the latest innovations in plant breeding, highlighting both traditional and molecular approaches for improving crop resilience and productivity. This volume examines key areas, including drought and salinity tolerance, the introgression of resistance genes, and strategies to combat biotic stressors, such as pests, diseases, and nematodes. It also addresses the role of genetic engineering in ensuring food and nutritional security while offering a perspective on novel techniques such as seed priming for managing stress associated with microgravity. The book combines case studies, conceptual advances, and applied strategies, making it a valuable resource for researchers, graduate students, plant breeders, and agricultural practitioners. By bridging conventional breeding practices with modern genetic tools, this collection highlights sustainable solutions to global agricultural challenges and food security issues.
