Transgenic Implications for Biotic and Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Agricultural Crops

Agricultural Biotechnology: Latest Research and Trends

Abstract

Plants encounter variable stresses in the environment which lead to huge crop losses worldwide. Environmental stresses that a plant can undergo are categorized into two categories as (a) biotic and (b) abiotic stress. Biotic stresses include attacks by different insects, nematodes, and microbial pathogens like fungi, bacteria, and viruses. While on the other hand, abiotic stresses include high salinity, heat, cold, drought, osmotic stress, and heavy metal. Plants are quite susceptible to both kinds of stressful situations and have adopted different mechanisms to encounter these situations. Plants sense these stresses and stimulated specific stress responses thereby activating different stress response signaling pathways and generating appropriate cellular responses helping in combating these stresses. This chapter gives an overview of the major stresses, plants encounter during growth and transgenic implications that have been made to modify these stress-tolerant properties to produce crops with improved crop yield and minimize crop losses.
