Understanding the adaptation mechanisms of agricultural crops to climate change is important to develop strategies for sustainable productivity under future climate scenario. This book provides a comprehensive account of climate change impacts on growth, yield and quality of important food and horticultural crops and their adaptations under Indian conditions.
