light-and-abiotic-stress-sensing
Light-and-abiotic-stress sensing refers to the molecular pathways plants use to perceive environmental cues such as light quality, temperature, drought, and salinity, converting these signals into physiological and developmental responses. This sensing machinery is fundamental to plant survival, as it allows sessile organisms to adjust growth, metabolism, and defense strategies in real time without the ability to relocate. Understanding these pathways offers insight into how plants have evolved to thrive across diverse and often harsh environments, with implications for improving stress resilience in crops.
