Climate change-driven diverse abiotic stresses continue to negatively affect plant growth and development, ultimately altering sustainable agricultural production and food security. Multi-omics approaches have revolutionized how plant biologists explore stress-responsive, adaptation, and tolerance mechanisms and pathways, driven by improvements in scientific practices. Therefore, this special issue was designed to feature the latest advancements in omics studies to understand and improve the stress acclimation and tolerance mechanisms in diverse plant species.
