Covering a range of important crops—including cereals, oilseeds, fiber, and vegetables—the book integrates current research on stress tolerance, genetic resource utilization, root systems, and the role of plant metabolites. It also explores cutting-edge tools such as omics and genome editing for crop improvement.
Designed for students, young researchers, and agricultural professionals, this book delivers practical insights into how science can contribute to climate-smart agriculture. By bridging gaps between disciplines and highlighting new breeding strategies, it serves as a valuable resource for those working to build sustainable food systems in an era of climate uncertainty.
Zulfiqar Ali is a Professor at Department of Plan Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad-Pakistan. Prof. Ali completed his PhD from the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan, and postdoctoral studies from Plant Breeding Institute at University of Sydney (2007–2008) and Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences Nanjing (2009–2011). Muhammad Tehseen Azhar is working as Associate Professor at the Department of Plan Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad-Pakistan, his primary responsibility is teaching to graduate and post-graduate classes. Besides, his focus is screening and development of segregating population resulting in the development of several bulks of cotton with more yield and fibre traits. Dr Azhar has a specific interest in the development of cotton germplasm having tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Muhammad Azam Khan is working as Assistant Professor at the Department of Plan Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad-Pakistan. He is primarily engaged in teaching and supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate students. He studied genetics and genomics of host plant resistance to fungal diseases in his PhD.
