Plants are sessile organisms and as such must have mechanisms to deal with both abiotic and biotic stresses to ensure survival. The term “abiotic stress” includes many stresses caused by environmental conditions such as drought, salinity, UV and extreme temperatures. Due to global climate change it is predicted that abiotic stresses will increase in the near future and have substantial impacts on crop yields (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change; ). Therefore, understanding abiotic stress responses and the connection between such responses and agronomically important traits is one of the most important topics in plant science. Often plants will experience more than one abiotic stress at a time, making. | f ADVANCES IN SELECTED PLANT PHYSIOLOGY ASPECTS Edited by Giuseppe Montanaro and Bartolomeo Dichio Advances in Selected Plant Physiology Aspects Edited by Giuseppe Montanaro and Bartolomeo Dichio Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
