Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given the ever-growing world population and considering the climate change crisis that is currently unfolding, we strongly believe that it is timely to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the effect of stress conditions on crop yields. As sessile organisms, plants must cope with abiotic stress (soil salinity, drought, and extreme temperatures) and biotic stress (nematode and pathogenic bacteria infection). In addition, the efficiency of water and fertilizer systems also plays a crucial role in improving crop yield. With this Special Issue, we aim to compile the latest knowledge on plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses and to highlight the shortcomings and knowledge gaps in our understanding of the underlying processes. Based on this, we will lay the groundwork for future research that can contribute to this important field of plant science.
