Plant Responses Under Abiotic Stress and Mitigation Options Towards Agricultural Sustainability

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Stress: Challenges and Management in the New Decade

Part of the book series: Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation ((ASTI))

Abstract

Plants are continually exposed to various environmental extremities during their growing period. As such, plants have to constantly struggle with different abiotic and biotic factors. Biotic factors can be controlled to a certain extent through the application of pesticides or by adopting various crop protection techniques. But the adverse impacts of abiotic stress elements such as drought, high temperature, salinity, heavy rainfall, snowfall, UV radiations, hazardous chemicals, air pollutants, etc., are very difficult to manage. Plants usually adopt various mechanisms involving alteration in anatomical, physiological, biochemical functions, or regulation of different stress-responsive genes, signaling pathways, etc. Abiotic stresses cause modifications in plant metabolism that leads to enhanced production of different secondary metabolites like polyamines, phenol, proline, etc., which, in turn, act directly or indirectly to build up abiotic stress tolerance by activating different stress response systems. Starch, the major reserve material of plants plays a key role in stress mitigation. Plants remobilize their reserve starch during stress conditions to provide energy. This chapter aims to discuss briefly how plants perceive different kinds of stresses, transduce early signals within their system, elicit different types of responses, or how these stress responses are determined genetically. Attempts have also been made to illustrate what options would be helpful to attain agricultural sustainability through the mitigation of stresses.
