Yield losses in agriculture will be potentiated in the future by global warming, increasing contamination, and reduced availability of fertile land. The challenge for agriculture of the present and future is that of increasing the food supply for a continuously growing human population under environmental conditions that are deteriorating in many areas of the world. Minimizing the effects of diverse types of abiotic stresses represents a matter of general concern. Research on all topics related to abiotic stress tolerance, from understanding the stress response mechanisms of plants to developing cultivars and crops tolerant to stress, is a priority. This Special Issue is focused on the physiological and molecular characterization of crop resistance to abiotic stresses, including novel research, reviews, and opinion articles covering all aspects of the responses and mechanisms of plant tolerance to abiotic. Contributions on physiological, biochemical, and molecular studies of crop responses to abiotic stresses; the description and role of stress-responsive genes; marker-assisted screening of stress-tolerant genotypes; genetic engineering; and other biotechnological approaches to improve crop tolerance were considered.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscsiliconstrawberrytotal antioxidantsdroughtstress responsesarbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF)Rhizophagus clarusfloodplantshormonal homeostasisphysiological activitydrought toleranceLEATevang 1 maizetobaccoxylem vesselwater stressroot anatomyvegetable cropsstomatal conductancecanopy temperaturechlorophyll fluorescenceSPADcommon buckwheatcotyledonrootdrought stresstranscriptome analysisalfalfaevaluationgrowthheat stressphysiological traitssodium azideokrawaterlogging stressantioxidantsgene expressionsalinitysodiumpotassiumion homeostasis-transport determinantsCBL gene familyProvitamin Amaizemorphologicalphysiologicalbiochemicalβ-caroteneCapsicum annuum L.salt stresssalicylic acidyeastprolinepomegranatetranscriptometissue-specificsignaling transduction pathwaystranscription factorsultrastructureosmotic stresswheatbarleysummer maizefemale panicleAbiotic stressclimate changecombined drought and heat stressgenetic resourceslandrace accessionscoated-urea fertilizerhumic acidlignosulfonatenatural polymersseaweed extractaquaporinBrassica rapagas exchange parametersroot hydraulic conductancezincALAabiotic stresschlorophyllphotosynthesisantioxidant enzymetomato cultivarssalinity toleranceantioxidant activitylycopeneascorbic acidtotal polyphenols contentCapsicum annuumroot structureroot hairsphosphorus use efficiencyP-starvationmacromineralsnutrientbreedingeggplantwild relativevegetative growthion homeostasisosmolytesoxidative stressPhaseoluslandraceseedgerminationgenetic approachsustainable agricultureweedsnatural herbicidessecondary metabolitespostemergencephytotoxicityabiotic stress biomarkersbean landracesplant breedingsalt stress tolerancewater deficitwater stress tolerancetea plantcold stresschitosan oligosaccharidephysiological responseplant growthagriculturetraditionspseudo-sciencelunar phasesphysicsbiologyeducationfloodingnutrient stressROSResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesBoscaiu Monicaedt1304681Fita AnaedtBoscaiu MonicaothFita AnaothBOOK9910557289403321Physiological and Molecular Characterization of Crop Resistance to Abiotic Stresses3027590UNINA
