proteostasis
Proteostasis refers to the dynamic network of cellular processes—protein synthesis, folding, trafficking, and degradation—that maintain a balanced and functional proteome. In plants, this regulatory network is essential for surviving fluctuating environmental stresses like heat, drought, and pathogen attack, as these conditions can cause widespread protein misfolding and aggregation. Understanding how plants maintain proteostasis under stress offers insight into resilience mechanisms that could inform strategies for improving crop stress tolerance.
