In the past decades, changing weather patterns due to global climate change have been reported, significantly affecting crop yield, productivity, and the quality of farm produce. The reduction in the production of crops resulting from environmental, physiological, and biological factors is well documented. Several complex physiological mechanisms are involved in the stress tolerance of crops to cope with the harmful effects of environmental stresses. Crop tolerances under abiotic stress conditions are achieved by increasing the production of compatible osmolytes, compatible solutes, reactive oxygen species (ROS), regulating ion homeostasis, etc. Nowadays, these non-specific stress reactions are mostly analyzed in scientific literature. The production of plant metabolites under different environmental stresses is significant as it occurs in specific plant defense reactions depending on plant origin. Mitigation mechanisms against these stresses related to the different biochemical and physiological plant-specific reactions must be studied in detail. Plant adaptations in different environments include roots structure, leaf size, night blooming, reproduction without seeds, brightly colored flowers, poisonous plant parts, etc. However, the response of crops under abiotic stress environments is still not properly defined, leading to a growing challenge in the development of tolerant cultivars.
This research topic summarizes the role of different environmental stresses on the growth and production of different crop plants, the latest development in this field, and future strategies for mitigating the impact of these stresses and enhancement of yield and crop production. Furthermore, researchers must develop new strategies using recent genetic improvement methods and agri-management techniques to alleviate these stresses' impact and enhance global food production.
We welcome submissions on the following themes:
• Climate-Smart and Resilient Agricultural Practices
• Plant adaptive features to combat climate change
• Oxidative stress tolerance in crops
• Antioxidative Defense to combat plant abiotic stress
• Plant signaling cascades for stress tolerance
• Plant secondary metabolism stress tolerance
• Plant tissue culture and crop improvement
• Role of biodiversity for sustainable agriculture
• Plant microbiome in plant stress alleviation
• Nutrient use efficiency of plant for climate resilient agriculture
• Biochar for plant stress tolerance
• Chitosan for plant growth and stress tolerance
• Bioremediation: A substantive potential for a clean earth
