Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance VAbiotic stresses, defined as the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms in a specific environment are the primary
causes of crop loss worldwide. Abiotic stresses include high and low temperatures, salinity, drought, flooding, heavy metal stress and
many other environmental factors. Plant tolerance to these stresses is dependent on the molecular networks involved in stress
perception, signaling, and the expression of specific stress-related genes and metabolites.
The main goal of the 5th International Conference “Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance” is to discuss the most recent advances in
understanding and combating plant abiotic stress and tolerance mechanisms and to define new frontiers in this field.
The program of the 5th International Conference “Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance” combines plenary lectures, poster sessions, a
unique Conference Dinner Party and sightseeing tours of Vienna.

Vienna is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, situated in the heart of Europe. Due to its geographic and
geopolitical location, Vienna has become a popular conference place in recent years. Today, Vienna offers a range of sights from
old historical palaces, classical concerts and outstanding opera performances to typical Viennese coffee houses and
restaurants – all brought together in incomparable Viennese harmony. The International and Local Organizing Committees have
compiled a well-balanced agenda with state–of–the–art professional highlights and social events to be remembered.
