This new volume highlights the various emerging techniques and molecular
applications that are currently being used in plant abiotic stress
physiology. It provides a thorough overview of omics approaches in
response to stressors such as low water accessibility (drought), excess
water (flooding/waterlogging), extremes of temperatures (cold, chill,
frost, and heat), salinity, mineral deficiency, and heavy metal
toxicity-many of which are the result of climate change. The book, with
chapters contributed by specialists in the field, emphasizes the broad
variety of themes using an omics analysis of plants under abiotic stress
factors at the cellular and molecular levels.
The chapter authors explore a variety of approaches to address plant
abiotic stress, including proteomic approaches, genome editing
applications, and system biology approaches. The volume takes into
consideration, from omics perspective, how to use the plant-microbe
interaction to make plants more resilient to changing climates. It also
looks at the role of ionomics (the study of complete mineral nutrient
and trace elemental composition of a plant species) and osmoprotectants
to address multiple abiotic stress tolerance in plants.
Omics Analysis of Plants under Abiotic Stress provides the fundamental
information for all who are working in or have interest in this specific
field. Unquestionably, this volume will be beneficial for common use of
research students, teachers, and persons who have interest in plant
abiotic stress physiology.
