世界上生产的主要园艺作物是蔬菜和水果，如西红柿、西瓜、香蕉和苹果。西红柿、西瓜、香蕉产量超过1亿吨，苹果产量超过7000万吨。随着人口的增长，蔬菜和水果的产量也在增加。虽然产量低于玉米、大米、小麦等主要谷物，但蔬菜和水果作为与谷物不同的食物和食品补充剂，却是必不可少的。也就是说，蔬菜和水果是维持身体机能所必需的，而谷物则是主要提供能量的食物。因此，园艺生产对于促进健康生活和防止隐性饥饿非常重要。本出版物的目的是从田间到分子水平阐明园艺植物非生物胁迫反应的生物学方面。尽管有很多关于非生物胁迫生物学的基本方面和模式植物分子水平的研究进展的书籍，但主要关注园艺植物非生物胁迫响应的书籍却很少。许多对植物非生物胁迫生物学感兴趣的读者都知道最新研究成果在农业生产中的应用；因此，这本书将特别吸引那些读者。
Major horticultural crops produced in the world are vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes, watermelons, bananas, and apples. The production of tomatoes, watermelons, and bananas is more than 100 million tons and that of apples is more than 70 million tons. The production of vegetables and fruits is increasing with population growth. Although the production is less than that of major cereals such as corn, rice, and wheat, vegetables and fruits are essential as food and food supplements in a way different from cereals. That is, vegetables and fruits are necessary for the maintenance of body functions, whereas cereals are foods that mainly provide energy. Therefore, horticultural production is important for promoting a healthy life and for preventing hidden hunger.The purpose of this publication is to elucidate the biological aspects of the abiotic stress response in horticultural plants from the field to the molecular level. There are few books focusing mainly on the abiotic stress response in horticultural plants, although many books concerning the basic aspects of abiotic stress biology and research progress at the molecular level in model plants are available. Many readers who are interested in plant abiotic stress biology are aware of the application of the latest findings to agricultural production; hence, this book will appeal to those readers especially.
