This book presents a comprehensive and scientifically grounded exploration of plant responses under stress, integrating perspectives from plant biology, biochemistry, and physiology to support agricultural improvement. It examines how plants adapt to environmental challenges such as water scarcity, climatic variability, and biological stress factors, emphasising the complex interactions that influence growth, development, and survival. The book combines theoretical understanding with applied research, highlighting mechanisms of stress tolerance, metabolic adjustments, and physiological regulation. It further considers the role of plant-environment interactions in shaping productivity and resilience, enabling the development of effective crop improvement strategies. Emphasis is placed on understanding both biotic and abiotic stress responses, encouraging a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to plant science. The discussion reflects contemporary research trends, promoting innovative solutions for enhancing crop performance under challenging environmental conditions.

This book is intended for researchers, agricultural scientists, and advanced students seeking to deepen their understanding of plant stress biology. It supports the development of analytical insight, scientific knowledge, and practical strategies for improving crop resilience and productivity.
