About This Topic
Dear colleagues and researchers
Plants as sessile organisms are frequently challenged with various environmental stresses (biotic and abiotic). For years, scholars have tried to understand the defense mechanisms underlying the interaction between diverse stressful factors and exogenous stimulants. Among these responses, activation of the antioxidative systems (enzymatic and non-enzymatic), glyoxalase systems and; regulation of hormonal balance, osmotic potential, plant water relations, photosynthesis and leaf pigments are common and powerful concomitant techniques that can protect plants against a wide array of abiotic stressors (drought or water deficit, water logging, salinity, soil pH, high temperatures, chilling , UV and heavy metals). Despite the huge efforts of previous studies, there is a continuing need for rigorous multidisciplinary scientific research to decipher the molecular mechanisms and to have a comprehensive picture of how plants treated or non-treated by different chemicals or biomolecules cope with the surrounded challenges in their environment. In this special issue, we invite all researchers of different backgrounds (Botany, horticulture, agronomy, biochemistry, genetics … etc.) to publish their experimental results on any plant species. All basic and applied researches regarding the improvement of plant growth, development and productivity under molecular background are welcome. Furthermore, any investigations to sustain the economic importance using some molecules as exogenous applications to ameliorate the detrimental influences of different abiotic stressors are extremely encouraged.
Keywords
Abiotic stress, plant growth, yield, signaling molecules, stress responsive genes, phytohormones, photosynthesis, plant nutrition and physiological mechanisms.

Molecular Plant Physiology for Model Plants under Abiotic Stress ConditionsAbstract Extreme temperatures, drought, and high soil salinity are some of the significant abiotic stresses that can severely impact crop yields, posing a threat to global food production. Comprehensive studies on model plant species are crucial for understanding their biochemical, physiological, and molecular responses to abiotic stresses. Identif [...] |

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
