Plants live in a constantly changing environment from which they
cannot physically escape. Plants therefore need signalling and
response mechanisms to adapt to new local conditions. The ef?cacy
of such mechanisms underlies the plant performance during stress
and therefore also impacts greatly on agricultural productivity. M-
ulation of ion channel activity not only provides a means for rapid
signal generation 2+ but also allows adjustment of cellular
physiology. For example, Ca permeable ion 2+ channels can transduce
environmental stimuli into Ca -encoded messages which can modify
the gene expression. Furthermore, ion channel activity is essential
to control cellular ion homeostasis that impacts on plant responses
to drought, salinity, pathogens, nutrient de?ciency, heavy metals,
xenobiotics and other stresses. This volume focuses on the crucial
roles of different types of ion channel in plant stress responses.
Functions of ion channels are discussed in the context of
mechanisms to relay external and endogenous signals during stress
and as mechanisms to regulate cellular ion homeostasis and
enzymatic activities in the context of biotic and abiotic stress.
The chapters presented cover cation and anion channels located in
various cellular compartments and tissues.
