stress-resistance

3 articles

Stress-resistance in plants refers to the molecular and physiological mechanisms that enable plants to tolerate or recover from adverse conditions such as drought, extreme temperatures, salinity, and pathogen attack. Understanding these mechanisms is central to plant biology because, as sessile organisms, plants cannot escape environmental challenges and must rely entirely on biochemical and genetic adaptations to survive. Research in this area has broad implications for crop improvement, ecosystem resilience, and understanding how plants may respond to shifting climate conditions.
