Summary

The aim of this reprint is to delve into the challenges posed by climate change and abiotic stresses to horticultural crops. With a focus on inducing tolerance and modeling responses to stress, this collection of articles explores innovative strategies to enhance the resilience of horticultural crops. Topics covered include phenotyping, water and nutrient management, and the use of elicitors, bio-stimulants, and micromolecules. Through the insights of leading experts, this reprint aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of research and future directions in the field. We embark on a journey to develop sustainable solutions for horticultural crop management under stress conditions, with the ultimate goal of ensuring food security and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in the face of environmental challenges.
