This book will provide an update on the recent progress in our knowledge on all aspects of plant’s perception, signalling and adaptation to variety of environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, temperature and pH extremes. A plant stress usually reflects some sudden change in environmental condition. However, in stress-tolerant plant species, exposure to a particular stress leads to acclimation to that specific stress in a time-dependent manner. Thus, plant stress and plant acclimation are intimately linked with each other. The stress-induced modulation of homeostasis can be considered as the signal for the plant to initiate processes required for the establishment of a new homeostasis associated with the acclimated state. Plants exhibit stress resistance or stress tolerance because of their genetic capacity to adjust or to acclimate to the stress and establish a new homeostatic state over time
