search are called for: 1. It should also be possible to improve plant stress tolerance by<br />
pyramiding several genes for different stress tolerance mechanisms in one transgenic<br />
crop. 2. Future studies are required to improve <strong>and</strong> evaluate crops engineered for<br />
stress tolerance for interacting stress factors; <strong>and</strong> 3. Studies are required to evaluate<br />
transgenic stress tolerance under field conditions.<br />
The discovery <strong>of</strong> novel genes, determination <strong>of</strong> their expression patterns in<br />
response to abiotic stress, <strong>and</strong> an improved underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> their roles in stress<br />
adaptation obtained by the use <strong>of</strong> “omics’ technologies will provide the basis for<br />
metabolic engineering strategies leading to novel crop cultivars.<br />
