Abstract

In the world, the increase in the transportation, industrialization, deforestation, use of fossil fuels, and unconscious use of agricultural land have enhanced the absorption of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causing global temperatures to rise, and thus the concept of climate change, effects, and consequences have become major issues of concern for all the countries in the world. Stress factors such as drought, water scarcity, greenhouse gases, and salinity, which occur with climate change, have a direct negative effect on plants. The increase in temperature and the change in rainfall frequency also negatively affect food production. Flood disasters caused by excessive rainfall cause pollution and decrease of water resources, and the increase in temperature and change in the frequency of rainfall negatively affect food production. Against stress factors caused by climate change, plants develop some cellular and molecular mechanisms thanks to bioactive compounds, phytohormones, and vitamins.
