Plant stress refers to any environmental or biological condition that disrupts normal plant growth and physiology, including drought, heat, salinity, pathogens, and nutrient deficiency. Understanding how plants perceive, signal, and respond to stress is central to plant science, as these mechanisms determine survival, yield, and adaptation across diverse ecosystems. Research in this area drives advances in crop resilience and food security, particularly as climate change intensifies the frequency and severity of abiotic and biotic stressors.
