As environmental conditions are changing, plants have to adapt to cope, as they, unlike animals, are stationary and cannot move to another location. Adaptive mechanisms help plants survive and thrive in challenging conditions and include:
  • Osmotic adjustment
  • Antioxidant defense system
  • Change in root morphology
  • Stomatal regulation
  • Metabolic adjustment
  • Dormancy and shedding
  • Hormonal regulation
  • Symbiotic relationships
  • Epigenetic changes
and the synthesis of stress proteins, which help protect cellular structures and enzymes from damage caused by environmental stress.

These mechanisms collectively allow plants to adapt to their environment, and optimize their chances of survival in the face of various stressors. The specific strategies employed can vary depending on both the type of stress and the plant species involved.
