Preface

Swelling demands for crop products prolong to rise strongly; agricultural productivity is threatened by various stress factors, often associated with global food for suitability and sustainability. To sustain and advance yield capacity, it is necessary to realize how plants respond to various stresses, and to use the hover knowledge in modern breeding programs. A good number of publications regarding molecular mechanisms associated with stress responses have been obtained from contemporary investigations using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Molecular mechanism for stress amelioration is still in fancy where plant hormones, such as abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, and salicylic acid, have been shown t
