Editorial: physiological, molecular and genetic perspectives of chilling tolerance in horticultural crops, volume II
2022
Overview
For crops of tropical and subtropical origin, exposure to low temperatures often causes chilling injury symptoms, which can range from altered appearance (such as surface pitting and discoloration) to severe physiological disorders and impaired metabolism. To cope with suboptimal temperatures in the surrounding environment, crops have evolved complex mechanisms, which entail stress signal perception and transduction, activation of stress-responsive genes, and the synthesis of stressrelated molecules. Plant breeding programs have been instrumental in obtaining chilling-tolerant cultivars in a number of horticultural crops. More recently, the incorporation of molecular and omics-based techniques into conventional breeding procedures has vastly improved breeding strategies by enhancing the efficacy of screening for chilling tolerance-associated traits. Moreover, these new tools will boost knowledge of chilling responses and tolerance mechanisms, and the discovery of related pathways and genes. As a part of the 'Physiological, Molecular and Genetic Perspectives of Chilling Tolerance in Horticultural Crops' series (Lara et al., 2020), this Research Topic was launched with the aim of offering an overview of recent developments in this area. The papers in this collection explored the mechanisms involved in chilling tolerance in a number of plant species, including commercially important fruit crops such as pepper, tomato, banana and peach/nectarine, a medicinal plant (Tetrastigma hemsleyanum) and Arabidopsis. In addition to helping to reveal the mechanisms underlying cold stress tolerance, these findings provide the basis for future breeding programs, and offer clues for the alleviation of stress symptoms.
