Conventional Vs Molecular Breeding Approaches for Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Cereals

Mahesh Santosh Shirsat, P. G. Nikhil, Bandela Chandana, Varsha P. Vengilat & R. L. Visakh · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2026

Cereal crops are fundamental to global food security, yet their productivity is severely constrained by abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, flooding, and nutrient imbalances. These stresses are further intensified by climate change, leading to significant yield loss...
