Providing sufficient food to burgeoning population from the steadily shrinking arable land seems to be very difficult in near future and is one of the foremost challenges for plant scientists. In addition, there are several biotic and abiotic stresses which frequently encounter crop plants during various stages of life cycle, resulting in considerable yield losses. Environmental stresses, including drought, flooding, salinity, temperature (both low and high), high radiation, and xenobiotics induce toxicity, membrane damage, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reduced photosynthesis, and altered nutrient acquisition. Several indigenous defence mechanisms (physiological and molecular) are triggered in plants on exposure to environmental cues. Enhancement of resistance of crop plants to environmental stresses has been the topic of prime interest for agriculturalists and plant scientists since long. Development of water and salinity stress-tolerant crops through genetic engineering provides an avenue towards the reclamation of farmlands that have been lost due to salinity and lack of irrigation water/rainfall. Understanding the complexity of stress tolerance mechanisms in orthodox or model plants at the genetic and molecular levels improves feasibility of enhancing tolerance of sensitive crop plants.
