This publication opens with the inevitable introduction, moves on to the present traditional approach to breeding for yield stability, and then enumerates a detailed discussion of the physiological approach to breeding for resistance to specific stresses. Not all environmental stresses are covered, omitting those for which little can be said today on practical breeding solutions.

1. The Stress Environment 2. Plant Breeding and Yield Stability 3. Drought Resistance 4. Heat Resistance 5. Cold Resistance 6. Mineral-Stress Resistance 7. Salinity Resistance
