Thesis Abstract

This project aims to analyze the role of plant cell signaling in plant response to abiotic stress. Abiotic stressors, such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, can adversely affect plant growth and development. Plants have evolved intricate signaling networks to perceive and respond to these stressors. The project will involve studying the signaling pathways involved in plant stress responses and evaluating their molecular mechanisms, gene expression patterns, and physiological changes. The findings will contribute to our understanding of plant stress tolerance mechanisms and may have implications for crop improvement strategies.
