Climate change and adverse soil conditions impose substantial abiotic stress on crops, presenting a major challenge to agricultural productivity and global food security. Advances in molecular genetics and genomics have enabled extensive genetic analysis and crop improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing abiotic stress tolerance, leading to significant achievements. This reprint comprises 13 articles focusing on abiotic stress in crops, including 10 research studies that investigate the response mechanisms of wheat, rice, maize, cotton, common bean, and Kentucky Bluegrass to various stresses (such as drought, heat, frost, salinity, and cadmium contamination), along with three review articles that synthesize research and technological advances in improving abiotic stress tolerance. These contributions provide key insights and a molecular foundation for molecular breeding and improvement of crops with enhanced abiotic stress tolerance.

This Special Issue sheds light on the remarkable resilience of plants as they confront a wide array of abiotic stresses, such as drought, extreme temperatures, high salinity, waterlogging, and nutrient imbalances, among other challenges. By delving into the molecular intricacies, this collection offers a comprehensive journey from nucleic acids to proteins, from cellular responses to tissue-level adaptations, and from individual plants to the broader ecosystem. Through this exploration, we can unveil fascinating, yet unexplored, natural laws and interplays. The research presented in this Special Issue not only enhances our understanding of how plants respond to environmental changes but also offers valuable insights into mitigating the impacts of climate change on agriculture and ecosystems. The collection encompasses a diverse range of research articles and comprehensive reviews, providing a deep dive into the molecular essence of plant responses to various environmental cues. Finally, the special issue serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, scientists, and practitioners seeking to expand their knowledge of plant resilience and adaptability in the face of current environmental challenges.

Plant diseases are caused by a large number of plant pathogens, with fungi, bacteria, and viruses being the main causes of the loss of crop yield and quality worldwide. Although several control strategies have been developed to reduce the negative effects of plant diseases, biological control remains an environmentally friendly and cost-effective green technique in environmental protection and agricultural production; it generally uses selected bioresources, including beneficial microorganisms. This Special Issue will comprehensively explore the general principles and advances in the “Biological Control of Plant Disease or Microbial interactions”, in relation to the modes of action and applications of biocontrol agents in the control of plant diseases, interactions between plant pathogens and biocontrol agents, and biological control agents and their mechanisms.

Grasses are diverse, spanning native prairies to high-yielding grain cropping systems. They are valued for their beauty and useful for soil stabilization, pollution mitigation, biofuel production, nutritional value, and forage quality; grasses encompass the most important grain crops in the world. There are thousands of distinct grass species and many have promiscuous hybridization patterns, blurring species boundaries. Resources for advancing the science and knowledgebase of individual grass species or their unique characteristics varies, often proportional to their perceived value to society. For many grasses, limited genetic information hinders research progress. Presented in this research topic is a brief snapshot of creative efforts to apply modern genomics research methodologies to the study of several minor grass species.

Human health is closely linked with the health of the soil, which is both a vital resource for feeding the burgeoning global population via agriculture and vital to realizing most of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. However, increased salinization is significantly impacting the health of soil due to excess accumulation of varied salts (e.g., toxic ions including Cl− of Na+, HCO3−, Ca2+ and Mg2+, and sometimes SO42− and CO32−). Unfortunately, soil salinization has already affected about 20% of total arable land and 33% of irrigated land. Soil salinization negatively affects the health and productivity of plants and crops and thus threatens agriculture and food security worldwide. Moreover, it is predicted that by 2050, 16. 2 million ha of land will be affected by salt, which is predicted to cause 30%–50% yield losses worldwide. Making Plant Life Easier and Productive Under Salinity - Updates and Prospects provides a comprehensive overview of salinity and its major impacts. Chapters discuss important approaches for making plant life easier and more productive under salinity, the scale and complexity of salinity impacts on Sri Lankan rice farming systems, salinity stress responses of major metabolites, in vitro production of terpene in plants, the major mechanisms underlying phytohormone-mediated control of salinity impacts in plants, and genomics-assisted breeding approaches for achieving salinity tolerance in cereal crops.

Ornamental plants, renowned for their remarkable floral diversity, vivid pigmentation, and characteristic fragrances, possess profound cultural, ecological, and economic significance. Their complex traits are governed by coordinated physiological processes and molecular mechanisms that regulate pigment biosynthesis, secondary metabolism, reproductive development, and stress adaptation. However, many of these mechanisms remain only partially understood. This Special Issue, Physiological and Molecular Biology of Ornamental Plants—2nd Edition, comprises 15 papers, including 13 research articles, 1 review, and 1 essay article, all peer-reviewed and published in Horticulturae with full open access. The studies encompass three major themes: floral traits, floral scent and secondary metabolism, and adaptive responses to environmental stresses. Together, they provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of recent progress in understanding the physiological and molecular bases of ornamental plant biology. Collectively, these contributions deepen knowledge of the regulatory networks that control floral coloration, volatile and non-volatile metabolite formation, and stress-responsive processes. They further exemplify how integrative multi-omics approaches are advancing both fundamental research and the practical improvement of ornamental plant quality and resilience.
