abiotic-stress-tolerance
Abiotic stress tolerance refers to a plant's ability to survive and maintain growth under adverse non-living environmental conditions such as drought, extreme temperatures, salinity, and nutrient deficiency. Understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms behind this tolerance is critical for plant science, as abiotic stresses are among the leading causes of crop yield loss worldwide. Research in this field aims to identify key genes, proteins, and pathways that can be harnessed to develop more resilient crops capable of thriving under increasingly challenging climate conditions.
