Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many trees suffer from various disturbances during the growth process, such as environmental stress, pests, and diseases, which seriously affect the growth of the tree or even lead to the death of the tree. At this point, the tree also develops some of its own defense mechanisms to resist these disturbances and regenerate; this is an instinctive reaction of the tree. The internal escape mechanism provides a path for trees to adapt to stress, and the explanation of this response mechanism can provide a reference for the dynamic growth of trees. In addition, plant growth regulators and microbial biostimulants are used to enhance tree response under disturbance conditions. As technology has developed, a great deal of omics have been used to uncover these mechanisms. Therefore, this Special Issue warmly welcomes the submission of articles focused on how trees resist and regenerate under various disturbance conditions, especially in the field of biotic and abiotic stresses on trees. Manuscripts regarding the application of plant growth regulators and microbial biostimulants are welcome.
