Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Abiotic stresses induced by climate change and global warming have a negative impact on crop development, growth, and, ultimately, production. The production of crops and vegetables, especially at the reproductive stage, is sensitive to abiotic stresses. More importantly, several stress conditions usually occur concurrently. The response of plants to combined stress cannot be assumed from their response to individual stress; therefore, it is urgent to improve their climate resilience, especially drought and heat tolerance, and clarify the tolerance mechanisms. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect important results and findings on plants’ responses to environmental stress, especially from the perspectives of plant physiology, metabolism, and genetic regulation. We welcome submissions of cutting-edge knowledge on the effects of multiple stress to crops and vegetables.
