Description Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of environmental stresses such as drought,
high salt, heat and extremes of temperature. Growth constraints due to these abiotic stresses
result in reduced productivity and significant crop losses globally. Drought and salinity
affect more than 10% of arable land, which results in more than 50% decline in the average
yields of important crops worldwide (Bray et al., 2000). Tolerance or susceptibility to these stresses is also a very intricate event as stress may affect multiple stages of plant
development and often several stresses concurrently affect the plants (Chinnusamy et al., 2004). Therefore, the basic mechanisms of abiotic stress tolerance and adaptation have been the area of comprehensive research.
