The following article will guide you about how plants cope with heavy-metal stress. Heavy-Metal Stress in Plants: A heavy-metal is any one of a number of high atomic weight elements which has the properties of a metallic substance at room temperature. There are several different definitions concerning as to which elements fall in this class designation. According to one definition, [...]
The following article will guide you about how plants cope with high temperature. The four ways are: 1. Acclimation to High Temperature 2. Membrane Composition 3. Morphological Adaptations and 4. Heat-Shock Proteins. Way # 1. Acclimation to High Temperature: Brief exposure of plants to sub-lethal temperatures may increase their thermo-.tolerance. Light and other factors may cause an increase in tolerance [...]
Let us make an in-depth study of the methods employed by plants to cope with high temperature. High-temp or heat stress is an important environmental stress factor in plant productivity that typically accompanies drought conditions. Intense solar radiations and/or decreased evaporation of water from plant surfaces add to heat stress faced by plants. Upper Temperature Limit for Survival: Although some [...]
