Effect of Micronutrient Deficiencies on Plants Stress Responses

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Abiotic Stress Responses in Plants

Abstract

Low productivity because of limited mineral nutrient supply is common under various environmental conditions. Micronutritional disorders are common nutritional imbalance in plants and affect greatly plants performance and their response to surrounding environment. Micronutrients deficiencies exert secondary, often unpredicted influences on the growth of plants by changes in growth pattern, chemical composition, and antioxidant defense capacity of plants and particularly decrease the resistance of plants to biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. In this chapter, we discuss mechanisms involve in the intensification of damages due to environmental stress factors caused by micronutritional imbalances. Because of the significant effect of beneficial elements on plants growth and productivity under marginal environmental conditions, we present detailed information on how these elements alleviate plants stress injuries.
