Stress Tolerance in Horticultural Crops: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies explores concepts, strategies and recent advancements in the area of abiotic stress tolerance in horticultural crops, highlighting the latest advances in molecular breeding, genome sequencing and functional genomics approaches. Further sections present specific insights on different aspects of abiotic stress tolerance from classical breeding, hybrid breeding, speed breeding, epigenetics, gene/quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, transgenics, physiological and biochemical approaches to OMICS approaches, including functional genomics, proteomics and genomics assisted breeding.
Due to constantly changing environmental conditions, abiotic stress such as high temperature, salinity and drought are being understood as an imminent threat to horticultural crops, including their detrimental effects on plant growth, development, reproduction, and ultimately, on yield. This book offers a comprehensive resource on new developments that is ideal for anyone working in the field of abiotic stress management in horticultural crops, including researchers, students and educators.

About the Author
Dr. Avinash Chandra Rai is currently working as a visiting scientist at Agriculture Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Bet Dagan, Israel. Dr. Rai has been completed his Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology from Banaras Hindu University, Uttar Pradesh, India. He is currently serving as a visiting Scientist in Institute of Plant Sciences, Agricultural Research Organization-The Volcani Centre, Israel. He has more than thirteen years of research experience, particularly in the area of plant molecular biology and plant physiology. His research interest is in deciphering the insights of plant abiotic stresses with the applications of molecular and physiological tools. He also has a keen interest in emerging environmental and physiological issues of crop plants. He is currently working to see the effect of auxin and ethylene in the process of abscission in mango and find out the role of essential gene involved in the pathways mechanism in abscission of fruit. Dr. Rai has more than seventeen research articles and book chapters in journals of national and international repute to his credit. He is a lifetime member of the Biotech Research Society of India (BRSI) and Society of vegetable Sciences, India. He is also the recipient of Young Scientist Associate award from Bioved Research Society, Allahabad, India in 2016. He has also actively participated in many national and international conferences, symposia and workshops related to his research field in India and abroad.
Dr. Rai has been working as an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at the College of Medicine, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Saudi Arabia since 2017. He is involved in teaching, research, laboratory, and administrative work.
Dr. Rai completed his Ph.D. (2012) in Applied Biochemistry from the School of Biotechnology, Banaras Hindu University, India (specialization area: microbial biotechnology and molecular biology. He has a Master of Science degree in Applied Biochemistry from the Department of Biochemistry, VBS Purvanchal University, India.
During his Ph.D. he worked on cyanotoxins (microcystins) and plant growth-promoting bacteria. After completing his Ph.D., he worked on a project related to enhanced biofuel production in algae using genetic engineering techniques at ICGEB, New Delhi. Furthermore, he has worked on a metaproteomic-based project at NBAIM-ICAR. Dr Rai worked at the School of Biotechnology, JNU New Delhi as SERB-DST Young Scientist and Principal Investigator in a young scientist scheme project and worked on a host-pathogen interactions-based study. Altogether, Dr. Rai has 17 years of experience (teaching and/ or research) including 11 years after Ph.D. Dr. Rai is an expert in a wide range of laboratory/ research techniques and published numerous peer-reviewed articles (n >50) in leading journals/books.
His current Area of research interests are Microbial Biotechnology, Molecular Biology and Proteomics, Biomass and Biofuels, and Environmental Microbiology.
Additionally, Dr. Rai is actively involved in editorial roles and peer reviewer/ journal referee for several international journals.
Dr. Krishna Kumar Rai is Senior Researcher in the Department of Botany, Centre of Advanced Study, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. He has obtained his Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology from Department of Botany, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. He has served more than six years as Senior Research Fellow in DBT/ICAR funded projects at Indian Institute of Vegetable Research, Varanasi, where he has worked on deciphering physiological, biochemical and molecular mechanisms linked to biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in tomato and Indian bean plants. Dr. Rai is currently working on the identification of novel stress responsive genes/hypothetical proteins in cyanobacteria Anabaena PCC 7120.
Dr. Ved Prakash Rai Assistant Research Scientist at Agricultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Tanchha, Bharuch, Gujarat, India. He completed his doctoral research from the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. He has fourteen years of research experience in the area of molecular breeding for biotic and abiotic stresses in pepper, rice, wheat and pulse crops. Presently, he is working on abiotic stress tolerance in pulse and vegetable crops.
