Tolerance to Drought and Salt Stress in Plants, 2nd volume
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the successful completion of Volume I of “Tolerance to Drought and Salt Stress in Plants” and the great interest shown in this research topic, we are pleased to announce the launch of Volume II.
The current climate change scenario is accelerating degradation, desertification, and salinization, with drought and salinization being major threats to agriculture worldwide. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms involved in plant stress tolerance is critical to relieving the effects of drought and salt stresses on plant growth. This topic will focus on recent advances in drought and salt tolerance in crop plants. Submissions of original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, and short communications are welcome.
