This authored volume highlights the concern for food security of Asian nations traditionally focused on rice.  Rice grain is a complex carbohydrate used as a primary food energy source. This book focuses on the impact of high-rise consumer demand on accelerating grain production and ensuring societal stability. Wide coverage is given to variation in rice cultivation under unstable and sharply differing environments, where soil moisture level dictates plant phenology exaggerating tillering dynamics. The book provides essential information for environment-specific regulation of plant growth, tiller number, growth pattern, and manipulation of tiller dynamics for yield. Authors have also elucidated molecular biology underlying tiller survival, the origin of rice and factors crucial for evolutionary change of plant type devoted to imaging a designer plant type. The book includes topics on the ecology of rice environment, cultural types, ontogeny of tiller formation, tiller classes, genetic control of tillering and physiology of tiller growth. A comprehensive account of tiller dynamics resilient to climate change helps students and researchers learn and gain skills to achieve optimum rice yield. This book is important to students, teachers, researchers and climate change scientists. Further, it serves in designing and shaping rice production in the disintegrating rice agroecosystem under the impact of climate change.
