Plant responses to different stresses are highly complex and involve changes at the
transcriptome, cellular, and physiological levels. Recent evidence shows that plants respond …

Farmers and breeders have long known that often it is the simultaneous occurrence of
several abiotic stresses, rather than a particular stress condition, that is most lethal to crops …

Recent applications of techniques in plant molecular biology and biotechnology to the study
of host–pathogen interactions have resulted in the identification and cloning of numerous …

Populus species and hybrids are intensively cultivated as sources of woody biomass for the
forest products industry and for reforestation of lowlands in temperate regions of the world …

Abscisic acid-, stress-, and ripening-induced (ASR) genes are involved in responding to
abiotic stresses, but their precise roles in enhancing grain yield under stress conditions …

Advances in technology for in vitro propagation and genetic transformation have accelerated
