Plant stress research focuses on understanding how various environmental factors, such as drought, heat, cold, salinity, and nutrient deficiencies, impact the growth, development, and productivity of plants. Researchers study the physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of plants to these stressors, as well as identifying strategies to enhance plant resilience and tolerance to stressful conditions. This research is crucial for developing sustainable agricultural practices, improving crop yields, and ensuring food security in a changing climate.
