Frontiers of Plant Physiology for Climate Smart Agriculture
National Conference of Plant
Physiology-2021
2nd Circular
Venue
ICAR-National Institute of Abiotic Stress Management, Baramati, Pune (MH)
Climate change is taking a toll on global agricultural productivity and farmers' income. Farmers have
been facing challenges of unprecedented temperature extremes, drought, heavy rainfall, frost, cyclone,
etc. As a result, crops are exposed to multiple stresses such as high temperature, carbon dioxide,
enhanced UV- radiation and incidence of pests and diseases. All these factors contribute in the
reduction of crop productivity, accounting for huge economic loss which calls for immediate attention
and intervention from the scientific community. To deal with such situations, a basic understanding of
the stress tolerance mechanisms of plants and innovations in mitigation strategies are essential. In this
context, the National Conference of Plant Physiology on “Frontiers of Plant Physiology for Climate
Smart Agriculture” is being organized for improving the crop quality and productivity under the climate
change scenario.
