Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Citrus is one of the most important fruit trees with its high economic and nutritional value. The statistics of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reveal that the worldwide citrus cultivated area exceeds 10.07 million hectares. with a yield of more than 158.49 million tons (2020). Being a sessile organism, citrus often encounters diverse environmental stresses, including biotic and abiotic stresses. Most notably, cold stress is among the most devastating abiotic factors limiting the growth, development, and geographical distribution of citrus. It is, therefore, necessary to dissect the mechanisms against cold stress in citrus.
The Topic Editors encourage you to contribute to this Special Topic with research articles or reviews deciphering the physiological, biochemical, cellular, or molecular mechanisms underlying cold stress in citrus plants.
