heat-stress
Heat stress in plants refers to the damaging physiological and biochemical effects that occur when temperatures rise beyond a plant's optimal range for growth and development. High temperatures disrupt protein folding, membrane integrity, and photosynthetic efficiency, leading to reduced yield and, in severe cases, plant death. Understanding how plants sense, signal, and adapt to heat stress is critical for developing crop varieties resilient to increasingly frequent extreme heat events driven by climate change.
