drought-stress

2 articles

Drought stress refers to the physiological and molecular responses plants undergo when water availability falls below levels needed to sustain normal growth and function. Understanding these mechanisms is central to plant science, as water deficit disrupts photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and cellular integrity across virtually all plant species. Research in this area drives advances in crop resilience, ecosystem modeling, and our understanding of how plants evolved to survive in arid environments.
