This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
Although the role of salicylic acid (SA) in plant physiological processes has been widely studied for a long time, many open questions remain several fields. The importance of SA synthesis is illustrated by the four review papers published in this Special Issue that represent a wide range of approaches, indicating that a growing body of evidence needs to be summarized in a thought-provoking manner. The investigations presented in the six original studies extend upon the understanding of the involvement of SA in anthracnose infection and light-dependent cold acclimation, highlighting the use of SA mutant Arabidopsis plants. The studies also focused on the application of novel SA analogs or SA in combination with Rhizobacteria inoculation. We hope that the four reviews and six studies provide a deeper understanding of the role of SA and its complex tasks, as well as a new direction for research to address gaps and open questions, including both at the metabolite and gene expression levels, in the use of agriculturally important crop or mutant model plants, and in both basic research and practical applications.
Response of Field Crops to Abiotic Stress: Current Status and Future Prospects is a collection of useful scientific resources for students, researchers, and academicians on diverse aspects of abiotic stress responses in field crops. The book provides its readers with a vivid understanding of abiotic stress responses in field crops by covering diverse aspects. It offers exhaustive explanations of the impact and responses of field crops to abiotic stresses. This book offers comprehensive coverage of: Climate change impact on field crops Arsenic and aluminium stress responses in field crops Drought, high temperature, and flooding stress responses in field crops Salinity and osmotic stress responses in field crops Heavy metal stress responses in field crops UV stress responses Elemental biofortification Reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism Nutraceutical and human health Computational modelling approaches for abiotic stresses in plants

This book provides an overview of current knowledge, ideas and trends in the field of induced acclimation of plants to environmental challenges. Presenting recent advances in our understanding of the importance of salicylic acid, it paves the way for deciphering the precise role of salicylic acid in the field of plant physiology, biochemistry and agronomy, and breeding stress-tolerant and high-yielding sustainable transgenic crops. Adopting a mechanistic approach, the book offers valuable information on the role of salicylic acid in combating varied abiotic stresses. Plants are challenged by biotic and abiotic stresses. They adjust to changing environmental conditions by adopting various mea...
Demand for agricultural crops and nutritional requirement continues to escalate in response to increasing population. Also, climate change exerts adverse effects on agriculture crop productivity. Plant researchers have, therefore, focused to identify the scientific approaches that minimize the negative impacts of climate change on agricultural crops. Thus, it is the need of the hour to expedite the process for improving stress tolerance mechanisms in agricultural crops against various environmental factors, in order to fulfil the world’s food demand. Among the various applied approaches, the application of phytohormones has gained significant attention in inducing stress tolerance mechanis...
Abiotic stresses such as drought, flooding, high or low temperatures, metal toxicity and salinity can hamper plant growth and development. Improving Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants explains the physiological and molecular mechanisms plants naturally exhibit to withstand abiotic stresses and outlines the potential approaches to enhance plant abiotic stress tolerance to extreme conditions. Synthesising developments in plant stress biology, the book offers strategies that can be used in breeding, genomic, molecular, physiological and biotechnological approaches that hold the potential to develop resilient plants and improve crop productivity worldwide.

Ein muß für alle die wissen wollen was es heißt ein Boot jedes Jahr für die Saison und für den Clubbetrieb her zu richten. Für diejenigen, die vor haben einmal das Fahrtensegeln anzustreben, oder auch nur ein Boot zu kaufen. Es zeigt die ungeschminkte Wahrheit über das Leben auf einem Segelboot und all die Probleme die auftauchen können, auch wenn man vorher glaubt, alles bedacht zu haben. Es geht um das "Blauwassersegeln" und zeigt die Dinge auf, die wirklich passieren. Nach dem Motto: "Fahrtensegeln heißt, in den paradiesischsten Buchten, das Boot zu reparieren" Es zeigt die Gefahren auf, wo man zeitweise froh ist, eine Schrotflinte an Bord zu haben, auch wenn manche davon abraten. Es zeigt das lange Abwarten auf ein Wetterfenster, und abwettern bei Sturm und Schutz suchen vor Hurrikans. Ein muß, für alle die es mal vorhaben, und trotz Situationen in den letzten 20 Jahren, wo man glaubt es geht nicht mehr, möchten wir keine Stunde davon missen. Hier geht es um die Fahrten in Kroatien mit MANUDA Speziell eine Reflektion wie es in Kroatien nach dem Krieg mit der Abzocke weiterging und es nicht besser wurde als vor dem Krieg und im vorigen Jugoslawien
Mit dem Motorsegler Manuda in Kroatien, teilweise im Kriegsgebiet mit meinen Clubmitgliedern vom Segelclub-Ankh viele schöne Tage erlebt, leider getrübt durch viele Chartercrews und Möchtegern Kapitäne die einem das Leben schwer machen. Man wird im nun "freien" Kroatien nur mehr abgezockt und es gibt für teure Liegeplätze weder ein Service, noch Sicherheit oder eine Versicherung, sondern die eigenen Wächter von den Marinas stehlen von den in den Marinas liegenden Yachten, auf "Bestellung" die Geräte aus den Booten. Wie die kroatischen "Spezialisten" zwar viel Geld für Reparaturen nehmen, aber mehr zerstören als gut zu machen. Es ist ein Land geworden, wo die Touristen mit Yachten nur mehr "ausgenommen" werden, aber sicher nur Willkommen so lange sie Geld bringen, und keine Leistung dafür verlangen. Ich hätte nie gedacht, mich nach dem alten kommunistischen Jugoslawien, zurück zu sehnen.
