    Summary: Genetic Enhancement of Crops for Tolerance to Abiotic Stress: Mechanisms and Approaches, Volume I provides a consolidated update of the approaches taken to deepen our understanding of plants' morphological, physiological and molecular responses to various abiotic stresses and progresses made in unraveling and understanding the regulatory mechanisms, signaling pathways and cross talk among mechanisms operating under abiotic stress situations in various crops. The book includes articles on the diverse tools and technological approaches the use of which has improved our understanding of the intricate mechanisms operating in crop plants under abiotic stress conditions. The chapters describe the use of various 'omics' platforms such as transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, microRNA and heat shock proteins as molecular players, phytohormone (s) regulation of stress signalling pathways, and various functional genomics approaches adopted by scientists to collate a wealth of information to understand abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms for crop improvement. In addition, chapters have been contributed on the burning topic of the role of chromatin remodeling under stress conditions and on the epigenetic dynamics via histones modifications that can improve stress tolerance in crops by enhancing the stress memory. We are very hopeful that the topics will be useful to a broad community of scientists working in similar areas and the outcomes discussed can provide useful leads to build strategies to generate abiotic stress tolerant varieties.

    Rabbits were immunized with 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, or 1,000 x 10(6) murine thymocytes per kg according to the method of Levy and Medawar. Thus, 33 individual and 6 pooled antimouse antihymocyte serum (ATS) preparations were obtained and tested for in vivo immunosuppressive (graft-protective) as well as for in vitro thymocytotoxic activity. It was found that: (1) at least 3 x 10(6) thymocytes/kg were necessary for inducing ATS of appreciable immunosuppressive activity; (2) rabbits immunized with 30 x 10(6) thymocytes/kg supplied sera of the most potent immunosuppressive activity; (3) the increase of the immunizing antigen dose over 30 x 10(6) thymocytes/kg resulted in ATS preparations of decreased immunosuppressive activity; (4) the graft-protective activity of an ATS pool corresponded to the average of the activities of the individual ATS preparations from which the pool had been mixed, i.e., the process of pooling itself did not modify the immunosuppressive activity; and (5) there was a good correlation (r = 0.72, P less than 0.001) between the in vivo immunosuppressive (graft-protective) activity and the in vitro thymocytotoxic titre of ATS preparations. The theoretical and practical significance of these results if discussed.
