Journal of Plant Growth Regulation Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Rapeseed yield parameters have been altered due to the increased exposure to abiotic stresses. The changing climatic conditions have reduced biomass production and seed yield, which ultimately affect the success of rapeseed crops. The severity and ability of abiotic stresses to act in tandem are a growing concern for agriculture producers across the globe. Rapeseed is one of the most vital cultivars in the world, serving as a major player in edible oil production. Abiotic stress conditions impose various effects on plant metabolism associated with growth stages, soil water storage capacity and plant physiological aspects. Modern agriculture aims to increased plant productivity to ensure global food security for the future. This can be achieved using quality seed, appropriate agricultural practices, measuring pest reduction techniques and understanding crop production challenges. Important tools, including conventional breeding and biotechnological approaches, can be employed to develop abiotic stress tolerance rapeseed. This review highlights the physiological and biochemical responses of rapeseed to abiotic stresses. The review also addresses conventional and modern stress mitigation strategies for the development of climate-smart rapeseed.
