Abstract

Editorial on the Research TopicIdentification and characterization of contrasting genotypes/cultivars to discover novel players in crop responses to abiotic/biotic stresses, volume II Securing global food supply in an increasingly volatile climate and rapidly growing population is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the current century (Yan et al., 2022). Increased frequency and intensity of abiotic and biotic stress will demand a sustainable increase in food productivity with more efficient and diversified agricultural management (Farooq et al., 2022). One recurrent strategy used by plant scientists is to identify and characterize plant genotypes/cultivars with contrasting responses to these stressful conditions (
