      abstract = {This book presents case studies based on sustainable  agriculture in Egypt and how this is effected by climate  change. The book is divided into four parts consisting of  ten chapters. The first part of the book includes an  introduction to the crop productivity, biotechnology and  climate change. The second Part consists of two chapters  dealing with crop production with a focus on critical  periods of crop plants response to stress conditions and  the quality of field crops. The third chapter highlights  the foundations of crop tolerance to environmental stress  and plant traits relevant to stress tolerance. It is  devoted to explaining and discussing mechanisms of  adaptation to environmental stress conditions and addresses  various plant traits related to stress environmental  tolerance i.e. phenological, morpho-physiological and  biochemical traits which could be used as selection  criteria for crops improvement. The third Part consists of  five chapters under the theme improve Crop Adaptability and  Stability to Climate Change and Modern Technology. Chapter  4 highlights the most important strategic food grain crop  (wheat). Chapter 5 focuses on the important staple food  crop (rice), while Chapter 6 deals with one of the most  important food legume crops (faba bean). Chapter 7 and 8  discuss two important oil crops (sesame and sunflower).  However, Chapter 9 focuses on cotton as one of the most  important fiber crops. These crops are addressed under the  following headings: genotype x environment interaction and  its relation to climatic change on yield production,  performance of genotypes in response to environmental  changes, adaptability and yield stability to environmental  conditions, additive main effects and multiplicative  interaction model, gene action, genetic behavior and  heritability for traits related to environmental stress  tolerance, role of recent approaches, biotechnology and  nanotechnology. Additionally, it is considered how to  measure sensitivity of genotypes to environmental stress,  and finally the appropriate agricultural practices to  mitigate environmental stress on crops under attention. The  book ends with Chapter 10 which provides an update of the  book topics, present the most important conclusions and  recommendations from all chapters. This book has been  prepared and supported by recent references and statistics  including full-coloured tables and illustrations. The book  is written for those interested in crop science,  environment, plant breeding, genetics and biotechnology, as  well as postgraduate students and researchers in  universities and research centres.},
