Abiotic stress of plants

Abiotic stress can affect plants because they are complex organisms. Abiotic stress is the negative influence that inanimate objects have on living things within a certain setting. Low plant development and decreased crop yields globally are mostly caused by drought, salt, hot or low temperatures, and other environmental extremes. Abiotic stress poses a serious risk to food security as a result of climate change and environmental damage brought on by human activity. When plants are subjected to abiotic stress, they respond to the circumstances by going through a number of molecular, cellular, and physiological changes. Stress tolerance in both conventional and contemporary breeding applications can be enhanced by breeders with a deeper comprehension of how plants react to abiotic stress.
