    Editorial: Abiotic stress signaling in plants: Functional genomic intervention
    (Frontiers Media S.A., 2016) Pandey, Girdhar K.; Pandey, Amita; Prasad, Manoj; Böhmer, Maik
    Editorial on Research Topic: Abiotic Stress Signaling in Plants: Functional Genomic Intervention. The major challenge before the plant scientists is to develop strategies to increase the productivity of crop plants so as to feed the rapidly increasing global population. The increased anthropogenic activities have resulted in radical decrease of fertile land available for agricultural practices, and in addition, the impact of climate change, which poses environmental stress resulting in drastic decrease in crop productivity are major concerns for plant biologists.

    Biotic and abiotic stress signaling in plants
    (Springer, 2013) Verma, Sandhya; Nizam, Shadab; Verma, Praveen K.
    In the environment, plants are constantly being exposed to a number of adverse conditions. Being immobile and deprived of highly specialized immune system, they have developed intricate mechanisms to adapt and survive under various types of abiotic and biotic stresses. On the perception of certain stimuli various signaling cascades are stimulated generating appropriate responses. This result in massive transcriptional reprogramming that makes the plant tolerant against the stress. Recent advances in the field of genomics and proteomics approach have widened our view regarding plant signal transduction and gene regulation. The cDNA and GeneChip microarrays are tremendously helpful in identifying novel signaling determinants on genome wide scale. Therefore, the role of various genes can be elucidated in response to the stress conditions. Post-translational modifications of the proteins can be well understood by proteomics analyses. Several recent studies using these techniques have added to our understanding of stress signaling mechanisms in plants. In this chapter, we have emphasized on the contribution made by genomics and proteomics approaches to gain further insights in understanding the molecular mechanisms of plants responses against stress.
