Abiotic stress tolerance research focuses on understanding how plants and other organisms can withstand and cope with harsh environmental conditions such as drought, extreme temperatures, salinity, and nutrient deficiency. This research area aims to identify genes, proteins, and physiological mechanisms that allow organisms to adapt and survive in challenging environments. By studying abiotic stress tolerance, scientists seek to develop new strategies and technologies to improve agricultural productivity, enhance food security, and mitigate the impacts of climate change on global ecosystems.
