dc.description.abstractGrowth, development, and yield of potato are seriously affected by the environmental conditions. Globally, more than 50% of total potato is cultivated under drought and heat-prone countries. Potato tuber yield is dramatically reduced under restricted environmental conditions such as drought, heat, and high salinity. Because of the abiotic stresses, the loss in total potato yield is expected to reach up to 32% by 2050. Since potato has high tuber yield and is nutritious, it is considered as an important crop to fight against hunger. Therefore increasing the potato yield under abiotic stress conditions can help feeding the growing human population. The importance of increasing the tuber yield in the regions having extreme environmental conditions has been understood. Accordingly, researchers have been making efforts to deeply understand the response mechanism of potato to abiotic stress factors. Recently, the studies on abiotic stress response of potato have increased and the knowledge obtained from the studies has been used for developing new potato cultivars having higher yield under extreme conditions. Therefore the focus of this chapter is to discuss: (1) environmental requirements of potato such as temperature, water, and soil, (2) the deviation from the optimum of these factors, (3) the physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of potato to environmental conditions, and (4) improvement approaches. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
