Plant Ecophysiology: Responses to Climate Changes and Stress Conditions
Climate change, characterized by amplified frequency and amplitude of heat waves, increased evaporative demand and altered precipitation patterns, threatening the productivity and stability of ecosystems worldwide. Previous research identified a number of abiotic and biotic stressors that affects plant physiology and contributes to natural ecosystems decline, as well as crop yield failure. Depending on their intensity and duration, plant species may display a wide range of strategies and mechanisms to withstand environmental stress, including physiological and biochemical responses, as well as modulation in structural characteristics such as anatomy and morphology. However, despite the great...
Abiotic Stress Adaptation and Tolerance Mechanisms in Crop Plants
Agricultural communities are being affected by climate change. Droughts, heat waves, cold snaps, and flooding are all regarded as severe threats to crop production as they hinder plant growth and development, resulting in yield losses. Plants respond to stress through a complex process that includes changes in physiological and biochemical processes, gene expression, and alterations in the amounts of metabolites and proteins at different developmental stages. This special issue will focus on recent advances in the use of various traditional and modern biotechnological strategies to understand stress adaptation and tolerance mechanisms including (but not limited to) genomics, transcriptomics,...
Food and Nutrition Security: Underutilized Plant and Animal-Based Foods
Prof. Dharini Sivakumar was previously an Associate Partner at Simfresh International an agribusiness development company. All other Topic Editors declare no competing interests with regard to the Research Topic subject.
Neglected and Underutilized Crops
Neglected and Underutilized Crops: Future Smart Food explores future food crops with climate resilience potential. Sections cover their botany, nutritional significance, global distribution, production technology, and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses of neglected and underutilized crops. By simply changing species in a crop rotation system, the cycle of some pests and diseases is disrupted and probabilities of infestations are reduced. Finally, the book provides case studies that highlight where the adaptation of crops to local environments, especially with regard to climate change, have been successful.These crops can help make agricultural production systems more resilient to clima...
