Descripción

Plant Perspectives to Global Climate Changes: Developing Climate-Resilient Plants reviews and integrates currently available information on the impact of the environment on functional and adaptive features of plants from the molecular, biochemical and physiological perspectives to the whole plant level. The book also provides a direction towards implementation of programs and practices that will enable sustainable production of crops resilient to climatic alterations. This book will be beneficial to academics and researchers working on stress physiology, stress proteins, genomics, proteomics, genetic engineering, and other fields of plant physiology.

Advancing ecophysiological understanding and approaches to enhance plant responses to new environmental conditions is critical to developing meaningful high-throughput phenotyping tools and maintaining humankind’s supply of goods and services as global climate change intensifies.

Aryadeep Roychoudhury

Aryadeep Roychoudhury is currently serving as Professor in the Discipline of Life Sciences, School of Sciences, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi. Prior to joining IGNOU, he worked as Assistant Professor in the Postgraduate Department of Biotechnology at St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Kolkata. Prof. Roychoudhury completed his BSc (Honours) in Botany from Presidency College, Kolkata, and his MSc in Biophysics and Molecular Biology from the University of Calcutta. He obtained his PhD in Life Sciences from Bose Institute, Kolkata, under Jadavpur University, specializing in Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. With over 25 years of research experience, his current work focuses on the physiological and molecular responses of plants under diverse abiotic stresses, including fluoride toxicity, heavy metals, salinity, and drought, with particular emphasis on cell signaling pathways, signaling molecules, and elicitors. In recognition of his scientific contributions, Prof. Roychoudhury received the Young Scientist Award (2019) from the International Foundation for Environment and Ecology at the University of Allahabad, Prayagraj, India. He was also awarded the Distinguished Scientist Award (2024) by the Institute of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Sciences, India. His name has been included in the Stanford–Elsevier’s World’s Top 2% Scientists list.
