Preface
Food supply for the world population largely depends on the cereal production, and wheat is the most important crop among the cereals. It is the base of human civilization and has a significant role in improving food security by feeding the hungry world. Wheat is probably one of the major and most important cereals in the world providing approximately 85% calories and 82% protein to the world population (Chaves et al. 2013). It is a staple food in more than 40 countries of the world and cultivated in almost every region due to its wide adaptability. However, its production is adversely affected by various environmental adversities (Rahaie et al. 2013). The issue now has more apprehension than ever before due to the astonishing rate of recurrence and harshness of extreme climatic events and their potentially negative effects on world food economy and security, especially of developing nations. These stresses alter plant g
