Abiotic Stress: Its Outcome and Tolerance in Plants

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbes and Signaling Biomolecules Against Plant Stress

Part of the book series: Rhizosphere Biology ((RHBIO))

Abstract

The onset of nineteenth century along with anthropogenic pressure paved the way for global climatic variation which is a major factor for global undernourishment, malnutrition and endangered food security. The major upshot of climate change is abiotic stress like salinity, flood and drought that declines the agricultural productivity. Abiotic stress hampers the survival of the plants and restricts their growth and development. Each abiotic stress confers negative impact on plants by altering its physiology, morphology and metabolism. Production of reactive oxygen species during stress condition alters the structure and metabolic function in plants and restricts its growth. Drought is one of the serious threats to crop productivity among the abiotic stress that imposes multidimensional effects on plants. Drought alters physiology and anatomy of the plants and is the main reason for economic loss in terms of livestock and grain yield in both developed and developing countries. Plants adapt several resistance mechanisms to cope up with the drastic impact of stress. Main tolerance mechanisms are alteration in membrane structure, escaping the unfavourable conditions, activation of antioxidant defense system, production of compatible solutes for maintaining osmotic balance of the cell. Present manuscript focuses on the outcome of major abiotic stress in plants and their tolerance strategies against the variable environmental conditions.
