Summary 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.
