This book covers different physiological processes, tools, and their application in crop breeding. Each chapter emphasizes on a specific trait/physiological process and its importance in crop, their phenotyping information and how best it can be employed for crop improvement by projecting on success stories in different crops. It covers wide range of physiological topics including advances in field phenotyping, role of endophytic fungi, metabolomics, application of stable isotopes, high throughput phenomics, transpiration efficiency, root phenotyping and root exudates for improved resource use efficiency, cuticular wax and its application, advances in photosynthetic studies, leaf spectral reflectance and physiological breeding in hardy crops like millets. This book also covers the futuristic research areas like artificial intelligence and machine learning.

This contributed volume compiles all application parts of physiological tools along with their advanced research in these areas, which is very much need of the hour for both academics and researchers for ready reference. This book will be of interest to teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity builders, and policy makers. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, physiology, botany, ecology, and environmental sciences. National and international agricultural scientists will also find this a useful resource.

MAMRUTHA HAROHALLI MASTHI GOWDA, Ph.D., is presently serving as a Senior Scientist (Plant Physiology) at ICAR-Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research, Karnal,Haryana, India. She obtained her B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, India. She holds about 15 years of experience in R&D and has published around 45 research and review articles in peer-reviewed national and international journals, 25 book chapters, 3 technical bulletins, and more than 60 popular articles. Shehandled 12 research projects in various capacities including projects funded by USDA, DBT-BBSRC, CIMMYT, ACIAR, and ICAR and presented research findings in several national and international forums. Her research is largely focused onphysiological trait-based breeding for improving photosynthesis, yield, and abiotic stress tolerance and use of CRISPR/Cas9technology in wheat improvement. She has co-developed five high yielding wheat varieties and ten wheat genetic stocks for abiotic stress tolerance and for improving nutritional quality. She has been serving as an editor of Plant Physiology Reports, editorial board member of Journal of Cereal Research, and as reviewer of many international journals. She is committed to her professionalism and honored with several recognitions, including Prof. Mahatim Singh Memorial Award from Society for Advancement of Wheat & Barley Research (SAWBAR) India, RD Asana gold medal award, and JC Bose gold medal award from Indian Society of Plant Physiology and ICAR-IIWBR best scientist award.

He re-defined and executed a shuttle breeding methodology for wider adaptability, resistance, and yield in wheat. He devised a new double-digit appraisal scale for spot blotch disease severity in wheat, which is convenient and time-saving, especially while evaluating large breeding populations. Dr. Singh has contributed to the development of 25 varieties, 50 genetic stocks, and 15 RIL populations in wheat to facilitate molecular studies. He has published 160 research articles, 10 edited books, 8 bulletins, 19 book chapters, 5 review articles, 6 training manuals, and 100 popular/technical articles. Dr. Singh is an elected fellow of the Society for Advancement of Wheat and Barley Research and the Indian Society of Genetics and Plant Breeding. Dr. Singh received USAID fellowship from Mississippi State University, USA, and a certificate of achievements from the United Sates Department of Agriculture (USDA) for training at the University of Florida. He is member of the scientific advisory committee of PPV&FRA, New Delhi. Dr. Singh has received distinguished scientist award from SSDAT, best research team award of DWR , in 2006; DWR best scientist award, Nanaji Deshmukh ICAR Award 2021, and VS Mathur award (2020).
