Preface
Salinity, drought, extreme temperature, toxic metals/metalloids, waterlogging etc. are common stress conditions that adversely affect plant growth and crop production. The cellular and molecular responses of plants to environmental stress have been studied intensively. Understanding the mechanisms by which plants perceive environmental signals and transmit the signals to cellular machinery to activate adaptive responses is of fundamental importance to biology. Knowledge about stress signal transduction is also vital for the continued development of rational breeding and transgenic strategies to improve stress tolerance in crops. Drought and soil salinity are major environmental setbacks, which are reducing agricultural productivit
