Role of Abiotic stresses in plants

Abstract

External factors that have a significant impact on a plant's growth, development, or output are referred to as stress in plants. Numerous plant reactions are brought on by stress, including changed gene expression, cellular metabolism, adjustments to growth rates, and variations in crop yields. Some abiotic stressors, such as low or high temperature, a lack of water, and UV radiation, have a negative impact on plant growth and development, which lowers food yields globally. The abiotic stress elements that affect plant growth and development, such as temperature, drought, heat, and cold, were included in the following article. Abiotic stress factors are the non-living factors influencing the metabolism, growth, and development of the plant tissues at that particular time when such abiotic stress affects them. As a result of such abiotic stresses, the plants have generated many stress tolerance factors. Various stress-responsive genes are thus being formulated in response to the abiotic stresses, so the plants can survive even in such extreme conditions as well. Henceforth, it can be concluded that the abiotic stress factors imposed on the plants adversely impact their growth and developmental procedures, and at the same time, they also produce some stress tolerance factors to minimize the damage.
