abiotic-stress
Abiotic stress refers to the harmful effects of non-living environmental factors—such as drought, extreme temperatures, salinity, and heavy metals—on plant growth and survival. Understanding how plants perceive and respond to these stresses is central to plant biology, as abiotic stress is a leading cause of crop yield loss worldwide. Research in this area aims to uncover the molecular and physiological mechanisms that confer stress tolerance, informing efforts to breed or engineer more resilient plant varieties.
