Temperature Stress and Responses in Plants
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the fact that extreme temperatures have been shown to negatively impact yield production worldwide, researchers have deemed it urgent to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the tolerance of plants to extreme temperatures. However, solutions have not been found for the agricultural problems caused by extreme temperatures, despite numerous studies uncovering the molecular mechanisms of a plant’s responses to extreme temperatures. It is, therefore, necessary to address how these molecular mechanisms function in the natural environment.
An Editor, Nobuhiro Suzuki, previously edited the Special Issue “Temperature Stress and Responses in Plants”, which was published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and discussed how specific signals regulate diverse temperature stress responses that might function differently depending on the type of tissues, intensity and duration of stresses, timing, plant species, and so on. In this interdisciplinary topic, articles from a broad range of researches, from labs to fields, will be accepted. We will explore the molecular basis of the complex and flexible mode of plants’ responses to extreme temperatures, as well as agricultural and horticultural approaches to enhance the tolerance of crops to temperature stresses. The findings from these studies will then be integrated to further explore this research avenue.
The topic welcomes both original research articles and reviews. Short communications will also be considered.
