Plant Adaptation
Plant Adaptation
Plant adaptation encompasses the physiological and genetic changes that enable plants to survive and thrive in diverse and challenging environments. Through natural selection, plants have developed mechanisms to cope with stressors like drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and nutrient-poor soils. For example, some desert plants exhibit succulence to store water, while others develop deep roots to access groundwater. Understanding plant adaptation is crucial for breeding crops resilient to climate change. By identifying genes and metabolic pathways involved in stress tolerance, researchers can engineer or select crops suited for specific environments, ultimately contributing to sustainable agriculture and food security.
