Book spotlight – The Life of Plants in a Changing Environment by Rishikesh Upadhyay
There are few books which give our knowledge pool value addition. Well, I need to agree that this book authored by Rishikesh Upadhay will change our views and way of approach towards the environment. Will be sharing with you a sneak-peak of the book (Spotlight)
What is the Book about ?
Plants experience stress due to environmental changes, either in biotic or abiotic form, during their life cycle. Non-heritable modifications in morphological, physiological or biochemical characteristics tend to reduce or decrease growth and productivity, and sometimes lead to death.
This book presents an exhaustive overview of the specific effects and modifications that could occur in this regards, and will serve to consolidate the ideas to promote standardization of plant adaptation to these changes in the environment. This book returns to the facts of both biotic and abiotic stress, detailing an essential aspect of plant life in the context of stress response.
The text is a comprehensive, current reference that effectively addresses issues and concerns related to plant stress in natural environments. Although many reference books about abiotic stress and other environmental stresses have been published, they all exist in relative isolation from one another, covering only one specific topic. This book is, rather, a comprehensive review of all aspects of the responses of plants to changes in the environment.

I had read his writings when I was doing B.Sc from botany. Although due to limited time I could go into depth study of his notes yet what I read that time is still memorable
His work and research is commendable.
With the change in the climate we have witnessed so many calamities and even plants suffer a lot for sure. This is a good read.
