Abstract
Mitigating the negative impacts of abiotic stress is an important approach,
especially if climate change scenarios are realized. It is important to develop modern
applications to deliver adequate and safe food for human consumption, particularly in
arid and semi-arid regions that suffer from environmental and economic stressors. The
progress made by scientific research in the field of plant tolerance to stress conditions
during the last decade is considerable, but it needs to supply technical support for the
application. The development strategy is based on combining more than one technique
to achieve the integrated management of plants under different abiotic stresses, as will
be described in this chapter.
