Multiple Abiotic Stresses in Plants: Mechanisms and Management Strategies

Driven by the realities of global climate change, compound stress events-such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and flooding-now frequently affect crops within a single season, posing significant risks to global food security and agricultural sustainability.Multiple Abiotic Stresses in Plants examines how plants coordinate distinct physiological, biochemical, and molecular pathways to adapt under complex stress conditions, contrasting these mechanisms with those triggered by individual stress factors. Chapters cover key processes including redox regulation, hormonal signaling, transcriptional control, ion transport, and metabolic adjustments.The volume also highlights advances in breeding and biotechnology-from marker-assisted selection and genome editing to nanotechnology and multi-omics approaches-alongside practical strategies for improved stress management, such as optimized nutrient use, microbial interventions, and climate-adaptive agronomy.
