In the recent years, the looming food scarcity problem has highlighted plant sciences as an emerging discipline committed to devise new strategies for enhanced crop productivity. The major factors causing food scarcity are biotic and abiotic stresses such as plant pathogens, salinity, drought, flooding, nutrient deficiency or toxicity which substantially limit crop productivity world-wide. In this scenario, strategies should be adopted to achieve maximum productivity and economic crop returns. In this book we have mainly focused on physiological, biochemical, molecular and genetic bases of crop development and related approaches that can be used for crop improvement under environmental adversaries. In addition, the adverse effects of different biotic (diseases, pathogens etc.) and abiotic (salinity, drought, high temperatures, metals etc) stresses on crop development and the potential strategies to enhance crop productivity under stressful environments are also discussed.

This text provides an overview of the emerging field of the study of complex plant genomes and the laboratory techniques that will enhance genetic improvement of cotton. It also addresses important issues and opportunities that face the cotton industry. Topics include the approaches utilized in breeding and development of cotton cultivars in Australia; the expression and regulation of lipid transfer protein genes in cotton fibre; and RFLP diversity in cotton.
