Abstract

Abiotic stress is majorly responsible for reduced yield in several crops. The plants have different mechanism to response of abiotic stress like alter metabolism, productivity and sustainability. The abiotic stress-induced morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and molecular changes and affect growth and productivity of the plants. The plants have strategies and approaches to increase tolerance. Understanding the mechanisms of tolerance and how this knowledge can be utilized is one the most challenging tasks. In the last decades there has been progress to understand the molecular, biochemical, physiologic mechanism of stress tolerance in plants. The biodiversity of these crops are important for understanding the mechanism of tolerance to stress on the genetic variability. Stresses also affect the primary and secondary metabolism. The functional genomics is an important field of molecular biology which focuses on determination of the function of genes and proteins. This research seeks to understand the dynamism of gene transcription processes, translation, interaction between proteins and metabolic alterations in abiotic stress. These approaches are used to facilitate plant breeding, aiming to understand the physiology of the phenotype that is associated with genetic and epigenetic mechanisms during abiotic stress. Advances in genetics have been of great importance for understanding and establishing tools molecular which assist in the evolution of science in solution practical problems and recurrent society.
