Note(s) : Notes bibliogr.
Cold stress is one of the prevalent environmental stresses affecting crop productivity,
particularly in temperate regions. Numerous plant types of tropical or subtropical
origin are injured or killed by non-freezing low temperature, and display a range
of symptoms of chilling injury such as chlorosis, necrosis, or growth retardation.
In contrast, chilling tolerant species thrive well at such temperatures. To thrive
under cold stress conditions, plants have evolved complex mechanisms to identify peripheral
signals that allow them to counter varying environmental conditions. These mechanisms
include stress perception, signal transduction, transcriptional activation of stress-responsive
target genes, and synthesis of stress-related proteins and other molecules, which
help plants to strive through adverse environmental conditions. Conventional breeding
methods have met with limited success in improving the cold tolerance of important
crop plants through inter-specific or inter-generic hybridization. A better understanding
of physiological, biochemical and molecular responses and tolerance mechanisms, and
discovery of novel stress-responsive pathways and genes may contribute to efficient
engineering strategies that enhance cold stress tolerance. It is therefore imperative
to accelerate the efforts to unravel the biochemical, physiological and molecular
mechanisms underlying cold stress tolerance in plants. Through this new book, we intend
to integrate the contributions from plant scientists targeting cold stress tolerance
mechanisms using physiological, biochemical, molecular, structural and systems biology
approaches. It is hoped that this collection will serve as a reference source for
those who are interested in or are actively engaged in cold stress research
