The current climate change scenario is accelerating degradation, desertification, and
salinisation: all destructive processes that are negatively impacting arable lands and food
production. This is particularly important when considering how the world population
shows a marked positive trend. This scenario leads to flooding and decreasing water
quality, but also to a decrease in the availability of water resources in some regions. More
than ever, drought is a significant threat to agriculture worldwide. This Special Issue
focuses on recent advances in the mechanisms involved in the drought tolerance of crop
plants, with particular attention to the role of the root tissue and shoot¿root interactions.
In addition to drought, it considers other abiotic stresses involving water deficit stress
at the cell level and their interactions with drought. The Special Issue includes a review
paper and a collection of scientific papers that approach drought stress in cereals, legumes,
and trees, combining studies in cultivated, wild, and model plants. Overall, this issue
remarks the role of transcriptions factors (bHLH, NAC, HD-ZIP III), leucine-rich repeat
receptor-like kinases, cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, and U-box E3 ligases in drought
stress responses at different levels. In addition, the interaction between plant nutrition and
drought stress responses is approached with a physiological strategy. [--]
