Developing drought-resistant cereals 1st Edition

Developing drought-resistant cereals, 1st Edition by Roberto Tuberosa is a timely, authoritative guide that grabs attention with its promise to tackle one of agriculture’s biggest challenges: producing stable cereal yields under water-limited conditions.

Dive into clear, well-structured chapters that blend plant physiology, genetics, breeding strategies, and practical field approaches. Tuberosa’s book surveys modern phenotyping, quantitative genetics, molecular breeding and agronomic management—presented in language accessible to researchers, plant breeders, agronomists, graduate students, and policy advisors. Case examples and comparative approaches help translate theory into practice for real-world cropping systems.

Imagine improving sorghum, maize, wheat or barley varieties to withstand prolonged dry spells—this volume gives you the scientific tools and decision-making frameworks to get there. Emphasizing actionable outcomes, it explains trait selection, experimental design, and integration of biotechnology with conventional breeding to accelerate the development of resilient cultivars. The result is a resource that supports on-farm impact across drylands from Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to the Mediterranean, Australia and the Americas.

Perfect for institutional libraries, breeding programs and university courses, this 1st Edition is both a reference and a practical roadmap for anyone committed to climate-smart cereal production. If you work on crop improvement, water-limited agriculture or food security, this book belongs on your shelf.
