Improving Cereal Productivity through Climate Smart Practices is based on the presentations of the 4th International Group Meeting on "Wheat productivity enhancement through climate smart practices," and moves beyond the presentations to provide additional depth and breadth on this important topic. Focused specifically on wheat, and with chapters contributed by globally renowned pioneers in the field of cereal science, the book helps readers understand climate change and its effects on different aspects of wheat production in different parts of the world. This book will be important for those in research and industry seeking to contribute to the effective feeding of the world's population.

Part 1: Genetic manipulations 1. New technology and introgression strategies are enabling the systematic exploitation of genetic variation from wild relatives for exploitation in the production of high-yielding wheat varieties adapted to environmental change 2. Genetic manipulation of wheat for different quality traits 3. Induced Mutagenesis to Sustain Wheat Production under Changing Climate 4, Innovations and New Horizons in Chromosome Elimination- Mediated DH Breeding: Five-Decade Journey of Speed Breeding in Wheat 5. Harnessing the Genetic Variation from Wild Triticum and Aegilops Species for Broadening Wheat Gene Pool for Biotic Stress Resistance 6. Potential of biofortified wheat to alleviate hidden hunger 7. A decade of progress on genetic enhancement and development of climate resilient biofortified wheat with enhanced micronutrient concentration 8. Improving nutritional quality of wheat: challenges and progress
