Genomic Approaches and Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants

Bushra Rashid, Tayyab Husnain and Sheikh Riazuddin

Environmental threats that comprise factors related to abiotic stresses are among the major challenges to crop plants, which limit the yield and productivity. Plants respond to this threat for their endurance at the cellular and molecular level. Understanding plant responses to these stresses is imperative and thought provoking in order to combat the challenges in agricultural research. Consequently, a complex interaction between signaling molecules and pathways has been triggered. Success in breeding for better adapted varieties to abiotic stresses depends upon the combined efforts of various research domains including plant ...
