Abstract

Plants, being immobile, are vulnerable to a variety of environmental challenges, including abiotic stresses such as high temperatures, low temperatures, flooding, drought, heavy metal toxicity, and high salt levels, all of which can negatively impact plant growth and productivity. These stresses can cause a variety of plant responses, including the production of reactive oxygen species, damage to cell membranes, and decreased photosynthetic efficiency which can disrupt growth and development, by impacting biochemical, physiological, and molecular processes. Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to deal with these abiotic stresses. The way that plants perceive and respond to stress signals plays a crucial role in initiating the resistance mechanisms. Recent research has highlighted the complexity of the molecular processes involved in plant responses to abiotic stress, including signal perception, signaling cascades, gene expression, protein synthesis and post-translational modifications. This review provides an overview of how plants respond to major abiotic stresses, including cold, heat, drought, and salinity, on both at physiological and molecular level. We have also discussed the ways in which plants sense various stresses and use molecular signaling to enhance tolerance to environmental stresses.
