Summary

The ability of plants to adapt to environmental stressors is critical for their survival and productivity. As climate change intensifies, understanding the metabolic mechanisms that underpin plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses is more important than ever. This special issue aims to explore the intricate biochemical pathways and metabolic networks that enable plants to sense, respond to, and recover from various stress factors, including drought, salinity, temperature extremes, and pathogen attacks.

 

We invite contributions that reveal novel insights into metabolic changes induced by stress, the role of secondary metabolites, and the interaction between primary and secondary metabolism in stress adaptation. Studies employing advanced techniques such as metabolomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics are particularly encouraged, as they provide comprehensive perspectives on plant stress responses.

 

This special issue seeks to foster collaboration among researchers in plant biology, biochemistry, and stress physiology, ultimately contributing to a deeper understanding of plant resilience and informing future agricultural practices.

    Understanding the Molecular Mechanisms of Nitrogen Assimilation in C3 Plants under Abiotic Stress: A Mini Review

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.94, No.4, pp. 1029-1045, 2025, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2025.064608

    Abstract Nitrogen (N) assimilation is crucial for the growth and development of C3 plants, as it converts inorganic N into organic forms, important for protein synthesis, nucleic acids and other vital biomolecules. However, abiotic stressors such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures and others significantly impact N uptake and utilization, thereby hindering plant growth and development. Recent advances in molecular biology have illuminated the complex networks that govern N assimilation under these stressful conditions, emphasizing the role of transcription factors, regulatory genes, and stress-responsive pathways. This review provides an integrated perspective on the latest research in nitrogen metabolism… More >
