This book have meticulous research in some of the very sensible and stirring areas of Plant Physiology Plant Molecular Physiology are indispensably needed for holistic development of agriculture and crop production in different agro-climatic zones. Ardently, this is also to focus upon excellent new ideas ensuring the best science done across the full extent of modern plant biology, in general, and plant physiology, in particular. In this book with inventive applied research attempts have been made to bring together much needed eighteen remarkable review articles distributed in three appropriate major sections of Nutriophysiology and crop productivity plant responses to changing environment and environmental stresses and technological innovations in agriculture written by thirty four priaseworthy contributors of eminence in unequivocal fields mainly from premier institutions of India and abroad.
