Mechanisms of Plant Adaptation and Tolerance to Heat Stress
During the entire life cycle, plants always encounter various stresses due to their nonmobile trait. Among these stresses, heat stress is a major stressor limiting cellular anabolism and catabolism, seed germination, seedling growth, development, geograph

Preface
Impact of climate change is expected to be broadly negative, including reduced water availability, salinity, flood, and infestation of pests and diseases. Due to the significant climate change over the centuries, the incidence of various abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, extreme temperature, atmospheric pollutions, and metal toxicities regularly affect plant life and productivity. Many crops perform only at 30% of their genetic potential under adverse environmental conditions. The predictable loss of crop production is as much as 70% in an average and might be 100% in extreme cases. The resulted economic loss caused by environmental stress is a great concern in agriculture. To sustain productivity against the environmental stresses, the crucial importance is to know and understand the plants-specific responses to the different environmental factors. Plant
