Frontiers in Plant-Soil Interaction: Molecular Insights into Plant Adaptation

Plants face environmental challenges due to global climate change, and plant-soil interactions play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning. A trait-based approach has been developed to study these interactions, and this research is essential for transposing knowledge of functional ecology to environmental management. Frontiers in Plant-Soil Interaction: Molecular Insights into Plant Adaptation will cover topics such as plant responses to soil conditions, stress physiology, genomics, proteomics, genetic engineering, and other fields of plant-soil interactions, benefiting students and researchers in these areas.

Plants encounter a diverse array of environmental hurdles, which are anticipated to intensify due to the impacts of global climate change. The intricate interplay between plants and soil holds significant importance in the functioning of ecosystems. Soil characteristics exert a powerful selective pressure on plant diversity, shaping the structure of plant communities and fostering biodiversity. Researchers have recently delved into the complexities of plant-soil interactions by employing a trait-based approach, which quantifies and models the responses and effects of plants on soil environments. This fundamental research in ecosystems is crucial for translating knowledge of functional ecology into effective environmental management practices.

Frontiers in Plant-Soil Interaction: Molecular Insights into Plant Adaptation aims to explore cutting-edge topics that shed light on plant responses to soil conditions through the integration of genetic, molecular, and plant-level studies of diverse biotic and abiotic stresses under field and laboratory conditions. This comprehensive book will serve as a valuable resource for students and researchers engaged in stress physiology and stress proteins, genomics, proteomics, genetic engineering, and other fields of plant-soil interactions. Moreover, it will open up new avenues for scientists to explore and expand their research horizons within this field.
