Current Omics Advancement in Plant Abiotic Stress Biology

Abstract

Many studies were done on the development of abiotic stress–tolerant plants, including crop plants. Plants naturally tackle multiple abiotic stress such as submergence, cold, salt, and drought. Abiotic stress negatively affects plant yield and growth. The development of environmentally friendly and cost-effective strategies will be required to resolve these agricultural problems. There are many methods to overcome abiotic stress in plants, including genetically engineered plants that are developed using genes that encode proteins involved in abiotic stress regulatory networks. These proteins include protein kinases, transcription factors, enzymes related to osmoprotectant or plant hormone synthesis, and receptor-like kinase. In crops, plant health is a fundamental agronomic trait that can directly affect yield. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of retarded plant growth under abiotic stress conditions is necessary to develop genetically modified plants that result in high yields. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
