      abstract = {The monograph entitled ℓ́ℓCrop responses to Global  warmingℓ́ℓ describes the normal historical shifts in  the earthℓ́ℓs atmospheric temperature and weighs the  evidence concerning anthropogenic induced changes in the  level of temperature. The unprecedented increase in the  earthℓ́ℓs temperature after pre industrial period has  been possibly related to the anthropogenic activities. This  monograph will give an overview of the global as well as  Indian crops productivity in relation to the rise in the  earthℓ́ℓs surface temperature. A chapter in this  monograph is on the technologies to study the response of  crop plants to the elevated temperature. The impact  assessment analysis of rising temperature on crops such as  wheat, rice, maize, soybean, cotton and brassica are  described, reviewed and discussed in separate chapters as  case studies. The responses of physiological processes and  biochemical reactions to the elevated temperature in crop  plants are described crop wise. The monograph also includes  the impact of elevating temperature on crop weed  interaction, pest and diseases and soil dynamics for each  crop species independently. The mitigation technologies to  counter the adverse effect of high temperature stress are  described for each crop according to their cultivation and  climatic conditions. The future research strategies for  each crop to meet the threat of elevating temperature on  crop productivity and food security is described and  discussed. The description of temperature enrichment  technologies will help researchers and scientists to study  the responses of biological materials to rising  temperature. The monograph will be the main text for  teaching climate change, global warming and environmental  botany as no such book is currently available relating to  the rising atmospheric temperature on crop plants.  Therefore, the monograph will be highly useful for students  of global climate change, environmental botany and  agricultural sciences, scientists, researchers, farmers and  policy makers.},
