Under field conditions crops are routinely subjected to a number of different abiotic stress
factors simultaneously. Recent studies revealed that the response of plants to a combination …

Environmental stress conditions such as drought, heat, salinity, cold, or pathogen infection
can have a devastating impact on plant growth and yield under field conditions …

Concentrations of ground‐level ozone ([O3]) over much of the Earth's land surface have
more than doubled since pre‐industrial times. The air pollutant is highly variable over time …

We review current knowledge of the processes by which ozone will cause injury and

Plant responses to the projected future levels of CO2 were first characterized in short-term
experiments lasting days to weeks. However, longer term acclimation responses to elevated …

Abiotic stress conditions such as drought, heat, or salinity cause extensive losses to
agricultural production worldwide. Progress in generating transgenic crops with enhanced …

Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a global air pollutant that causes billions of dollars in lost plant
productivity annually. It is an important anthropogenic greenhouse gas, and as a secondary …

Develo** crops that are better adapted to abiotic stresses is important for food production
