Abiotic Stress Responses in Wheat: Perspectives on Productivity and Sustainability
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Abiotic stresses (drought, salinity, cold, heat, waterlogging, etc.) are the major factors negatively influencing crop development and productivity. They are the main causes of extensive agricultural production losses worldwide. Regarding abiotic stresses, drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures are the major environmental constraints that modern agriculture must cope with. It has been estimated that they may be responsible for a 50% or greater yield reduction in major crop plants. Wheat, as a major staple food, represents an important source of essential elements such as energy, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, among other beneficial compounds. Elucidating the tolerance mechanisms of abiotic stresses in wheat is critical in relieving the effects of these stresses on wheat production.
This Topic will be a collection of the latest research on the agronomical, physiological, and molecular aspects of abiotic stress tolerance in wheat, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the associated mechanisms in wheat grown under unfavorable conditions and significantly improve the efficiency of wheat production. Original research articles, reviews, and short communications are welcome.
