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. 0aAgricultural genome mapping.967634 0aPlant genetics. 0aStress (Physiology).970794 0aPlants.97079514aAgricultural Genetics.96763824aPlant Genetics.24aPlant Stress Responses.9707961 aKumar, Narendra.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9314281 aSingh, Hukum.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9755352 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981971509108iPrinted edition:z978981971511408iPrinted edition:z978981971512140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-1510-7  aZDB-2-SBL  aZDB-2-SXB  c59288d59288
