Evolution of environmental stress responses in plants

This Special Issue of Plant, Cell and Environment represents an interdisciplinary collection of articles addressing some important questions regarding the evolution of abiotic stress response in a broad range of plant species across a broad range of scales. We hope that the questions raised in these articles, their findings and the new hypotheses arising will inspire scientists to conduct exciting research work on this topic in the near future. The research outcomes are likely to contribute new fundamental knowledge and offer practical applications towards the sustainability of the environment, agriculture, food and health.
