Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Mitigating the negative impacts of abiotic stress is an important approach, especially if climate change scenarios are realized. It is important to develop modern applications to deliver adequate and safe food for human consumption, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions that suffer from environmental and economic stressors. The progress made by scientific research in the field of plant tolerance to stress conditions during the last decade is considerable, but it needs to supply technical support for the application. The development strategy is based on combining more than one technique to achieve the integrated management of plants under different abiotic stresses, as will be described in this chapter.
