Special Issue on
Plant Response to Abiotic
Stress and Climate Change
Plants are often subjected to unfavorable
environmental conditions – abiotic factors, causing abiotic stresses - that
play a major role in determining productivity of crop yields but also the
differential distribution of the plants species across different types of
environment. Some examples of abiotic stresses that a plant may face include
decreased water availability, extreme temperatures (heating or freezing),
decreased availability of soil nutrients and/or excess of toxic ions, excess of
light and increased hardness of drying soil that hamper roots growth. The goal
of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians
all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and
developments in this area of plant response to abiotic stress and climate
change.
In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and
authors to submit original research and review articles that explore plant response to abiotic stress and climate change. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not
limited to:
-
Salt
stress in plants
-
Plant
salt tolerance
-
Plant
responses to heat stress
-
Physiological
mechanisms underlying abiotic stress responses
-
Gene
expression and regulation under abiotic stress
-
Transgenic
approaches to improve abiotic stress resistance
-
Omics
and system biology approaches to understand abiotic stress responses
-
Effects
of abiotic stress on plants
Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should
submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper
Submission System.
Please kindly specify the “Special
Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Plant
Response to Abiotic Stress and Climate Change” should be selected during your submission.
