plant-stress-response
Plant stress response encompasses the molecular, physiological, and biochemical mechanisms by which plants detect and adapt to adverse conditions such as drought, heat, salinity, pathogens, and nutrient deficiency. Understanding these responses is central to plant science because plants, as sessile organisms, cannot escape stressors and must mount precise regulatory programs—involving signaling pathways, gene expression changes, and metabolic adjustments—to survive. This research drives advances in crop resilience and food security by revealing how to engineer or breed plants better equipped to withstand increasingly challenging environmental conditions.
