Preface
Environmental stresses such as salinity, drought, flooding, extreme temperatures, nutrient deficiency, or toxicity in addition to deteriorating soil conditions pose major intimidation to agriculture and food security worldwide. The productivity loss is elicited by a series of morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular stress-induced changes. Such an adverse situation is in contrast with the mounting global food demand and becomes even more testing i
