abstract: The world food grain production needs to be doubled by
the year 2050 to meet the ever growing demands of the
population (Tilman et al., 2002). This goal needs to be achieved despite
decreased arable land, dwindling water resources, and the environmental
constraints such as drought, water logging, excess heat, frost, salinity, metal
toxicity and nutrient imbalances, which cause major losses in cereal grain
production. Drought, salinity and cold stress alone are known to cause
nearly 35% of cereal crop losses throughout the world (Quarrie et al., 1999).
The effectiveness of traditional breeding approaches to deal with the
problem is limited due to complex nature of stress tolerance traits and due to
incompatibility barriers encountered during transfer of genes from wild
species to cultivated ones. Therefore, newer strategies need to be used for
developing crop plants that
