Plant Abiotic Stress publishes research on the interactions of plants and environmental factors that can cause negative effects on plant growth and survival — including extremes in temperature, water, nutrients, gasses, wind, radiation, and other environmental conditions.
Read MorePlant Abiotic Stress publishes research on the interactions of plants and environmental factors that can cause negative effects on plant growth and survival. These interactions can be analyzed and described at the cellular, biochemical, physiological, tissue, organ, whole-plant, or population level. Abiotic stress comprises all non-living factors that affect plants beyond the normal range of a specific plant’s natural, compatible/adapted environment, including extremes in temperature, water, nutrients, gasses, wind, radiation, and other environmental conditions. Welcomed studies focus on environmental stress perception, signaling, and mechanistic response at all levels. Topics covered by this section include, but are not limited to:
· Identification of genes involved in differential stress responses
· Elucidation of stress response and protection pathways
· Engineering of stress response and protection pathways
· Studies focused on stress adapted plants
· Analysis of abiotic stress responses in context of climate change, crop stability, and resilience
Studies that report responses to abiotic stress treatments without contributing to the mechanistic, or genetic, understanding of the responses observed will not be considered.
