Key message We summarize recent studies focusing on the molecular basis of plant heat
stress response (HSR), how HSR leads to thermotolerance, and promote plant adaptation to …

Osmotic adjustment plays a fundamental role in water stress responses and growth in
plants; however, the molecular mechanisms governing this process are not fully understood …

The removal of inorganic contaminants by plants is termed phytoextraction. Recent studies
have looked at the feasibility of phytoextraction, and demonstrate that both good biomass …

The importance of biodiversity (below and above ground) is increasingly considered for the
cleanup of the metal contaminated and polluted ecosystems. This subject is emerging as a …

Cells must respond to an array of environmental and developmental cues. The signaling
networks that have evolved to generate appropriate cellular responses are varied and are …

Abstract Intracellular Na+/H+ (NHX) antiporters have important roles in cellular pH and Na+,
K+ homeostasis. The six Arabidopsis thaliana intracellular NHX members are divided into …

Potassium (K) absorption and translocation in plants rely upon multiple K transporters for
adapting varied K supply and saline conditions. Here, we report the expression patterns and …

As a nonrenewable resource, phosphorus (P) is the second most important macronutrient for
plant growth and nutrition. Demand of phosphorus application in the agricultural production …

In numerous plant signal transduction pathways, Ca2+ is a versatile second messenger
which controls the activation of many downstream actions in response to various stimuli …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …
