stress-response
Stress-response in plants encompasses the physiological and biochemical mechanisms that enable organisms to survive environmental challenges such as drought, heat, cold, or pathogen attack. Unlike mobile animals, plants employ a sophisticated arsenal of hormonal signaling, gene expression changes, and metabolic adjustments to cope with stressors they cannot escape. Understanding these responses is essential for agriculture and conservation, helping researchers develop climate-resilient crop varieties and predict ecosystem vulnerability to environmental change.
