Understanding Plant Stress Responses: Mechanisms, Adaptations, and Applications in Agriculture

Plants are continually exposed to a varieties of environmental stresses, which can effect on their growth, development, and production. The physiological processes of plants are affected and threatened by these stresses, which include biotic and abiotic stresses. The biotic stress includes pathogen infections and abiotic streses includes drought, salinity, and temperature changes. Improving crop resilience and sustainability in agriculture requires an understanding of the molecular mechanisms in the plant stress responses. With an emphasis on the function of stress hormones, gene expression, and signaling networks, this review research examines the main stress response mechanisms in plants. It also explores the impact of stress on plant metabolism and discusses innovative approaches to enhance stress tolerance in crops.
