Changing climatic conditions are major threats to sustainable agriculture. Increasing intensity of biotic (diseases, pests, and pathogens) and abiotic stresses (drought, salinity, sodicity, and heavy metals) are big hurdles for the achievement of maximum crop productivity. Scientists are working on different remediation technologies to encounter these biotic and abiotic stresses. The use of symbiotic i.e., the plant-microbes association is one such environment-friendly technology. An increase in nutrients and water uptake, root elongation, growth hormones secretions, precipitation and chelation of toxic ions are major characteristics of beneficial microbes which can enhance crop productivity under biotic and abiotic stresses. This Special Issue will help to cover the knowledge gaps of the nutrients management and symbiosis mechanism involved in the crop’s immunization and competition of symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms under biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore, we invite researchers to contribute to the Special Issue on “Symbiotic associations for Nutrients Management and Complexes formation for better Agricultural Crops Productivity under Biotic and Abiotic Stresses” which is intended to cover broad aspects of symbiosis for nutrients management on crops growth and productivity under abiotic stresses.

- Abstract GRAS transcription factors play important roles in plant abiotic stress response, but their characteristics and functions in cotton have not been fully investigated. A cotton SCL4/7 subgroup gene in the GRAS family, GhSCL4, was found to be induced by NaCl treatments. Nuclear localization and transactivation activity of GhSCL4 indicate its potential role in transcriptional regulation. Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana over-expressing GhSCL4 showed enhanced resistance to salt and osmotic stress. What’s more, the transcript levels of salt stress-induced genes (AtNHX1 and AtSOS1) and oxidation-related genes (AtAPX3 and AtCSD2) were more highly induced in the GhSCL4 over-expression lines than in wild type after… More

- Abstract Leymus mollis, a wild relative of wheat, is very tolerant to salt stress, and has been considered as a valuable genetic resource for wheat breeding. However, the genetic basis for salt tolerance of this species is still largely unknown. In this study, de novo sequencing, assembly and analysis of L. mollis transcriptome in response to salt stress was performed. A total of 110,323 and 112,846 unigenes were generated for the NaCl-free (CK) and 180 mM NaCl-treated (CT) library, respectively. For the two libraries, 73,414 unigenes were successfully annotated in five common protein databases, and 7521 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between… More
