Description

This book discusses how plant functional trait selection can help researchers to understand the plant-environment relationship, identify desirable traits, modulate plant resilience according to the changing climate, optimize resource use efficiency, and enhance genetic improvement. The plant functional traits-based approach provides a framework for improving crop productivity in agricultural systems with high precision. It enables researchers to develop crop varieties with desirable traits by focusing on the fundamental characteristics influencing growth, development, and response. Climate change and environmental variability pose significant agricultural challenges. The plant functional traits-based approach can help address these challenges by selecting and breeding traits that enhance resilience and adaptability capacity of the plant. This approach also contributes to sustainable agriculture, by focusing on increased food production, and resilience in extreme environmental conditions.
This book provides guidance to the researchers and breeders to develop crop varieties with desirable traits. It is also a reference book for graduate and postgraduate students studying botany and agriculture.

Dr. Narendra Kumar earned his PhD in plant physiology from GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, India. Later, he served as an assistant professor in various reputed academic institutes, especially Surajmal Aggarwal (Pvt.) Kanya Mahavidyalaya, Kichha US Nagar, Dev Bhoomi Group of Institute, Dehradun, India; Uttaranchal University, Dehradun, India; Doon (PG) College of Agriculture Science and Technology, Dehradun, India. He also worked as a research associate at Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India. His research areas focus primarily on plant physiology, ecophysiology, plant response to abiotic stresses, climate change adaptation and mitigation, functional traits, and climate change modeling. He has published numerous articles in national and international peer-reviewed journals. He is currently employed as a project scientist at the Forest Genetics and Tree Improvement Division, Forest Research Institute in Dehradun, India.
