Some of its most noticeable effects are increases in temperatures, droughts, and desertification. These effects are already making whole regions unsuitable for agriculture. Therefore, we urgently need global measures to mitigate the effects of climate breakdown as well as crop alternatives that are more stress-resilient. These crop alternatives can come from breeding new varieties of well-established crops, such as wheat and barley. They can also come from promoting underutilized crop species that are naturally tolerant to some stresses, such as quinoa. Either way, we need to gather more knowledge on how plants respond to stresses related to climate breakdown, such as heat, water-deficit, flooding high salinity, nitrogen, and heavy metal stress. This Special Issue provides a timely collection of recent advances in the understanding of plant responses to these stresses. This information will definitely be useful to the design of new strategies to prevent the loss of more cultivable land and to reclaim the land that has already been declared unsuitable. 606 $aPlant cuttings 606 $aHeat$xPhysiological effect 615 0$aPlant cuttings. 615 0$aHeat$xPhysiological effect. 676 $a572.46 700 $aCosta$b Maria-Ceci?lia D.$01278083 702 $aFarrant$b Jill M. 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910598033303321 996 $aMolecular Mechanisms and Genetics of Plant Resistance to Abiotic Stress$93012534 997 $aUNINA
