Summary

Crop Adaptation to Climate Change covers the spectrum of both crops and climatic conditions. The first two sections of the book provide the foundation of the text, assessing current climate changes by region and covering crop physiological responses to these changes. The third section contains the bulk of the chapters, each one focusing on a particular crop and the research being done to that crop to improve its genetic adaptation to climate change. Written by an international group of authors, Crop Adaptation holds appeal for academics, researchers and professionals in crop science, but also has applications for climate scientists and food scientists
