Plant biology with respect to Abiotic stresses to environment

ABIOTIC STRESS:-

Abiotic stress is defines as the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms in a specific environment
Plants being sessile organisms are exposed to external factors that can be stressful in such a way that development, growth and reproduction or the yield of crops becomes compromised. Expanding extensive physiological studies, the last decades has seen a focus on genes and biochemical pathway that determine whether plants are sensitive or tolerant to the many different stress factors: heat, cold & freezing, drought salinity, flooding or oxidizing agents.

Abiotic stress conditions

The most commonly encountered stress factor are drought flooding or submergence, temperature extremes such as heat stress, cold spells and freezing and soil ion content. With the latter typically in the form of increased salinity. Stress may also occur in the form of natural or man-made excess of heavy metal ion content. In addition, defrost of inorganic and nitrogen, to name only the ions important for plant growth, may restrict plant development. Furthermore, residual of chemicals used in normal crops may generate stress; because such compounds may reach the underlying aquifer or persist in the soil finally the continued modification of the atmosphere by human activities is of some concern. One example in this respect is the acidification of soils and waterways based on

    Abiotic means not living, they are factors that have an effect on living things (Wright, & Boorse, 2011). Ponds, lakes, oceans, deserts, mountains or the weather (for i.e. temperature, cloud cover, rain, snow, hurricanes) things of that nature are environmental factors (Wright, & Boorse, 2011). Biotic means that they are living things such as plants, animals, fungi, protest and bacteria etc. Biotic and abiotic are factors that are joined together to develop a system or the ecosystem, and the ecosystem is the community of living and nonliving things that are decided to be as a unit (Wright, Boorse, 2011).…

    Small variations in salinity can make a monumental difference on the water cycle and the ocean circulation. Trouble can also arise when saltwater gets transferred onto the earth. That can damage the soil and wreck habitats! There are two types of salinity, primary and secondary salinity. Primary salinity is when water or soil naturally has a high amount of salt in it, like in a salt lake. Secondary salinity is caused by humans. It can be caused by clearing too much land, which makes the groundwater rise to the surface and the salts inside dissolve into the soil.Secondary salinity has two main forms of which it happens. The first is dry land salinity; when more water enters the groundwater than is taken out, so it can enter vegetation on land and become absorbed by the soil. There is also Irrigation salinity; (Irrigation is the act of flowing water over crops to nourish them), salts can collect in the topsoil under the irrigation. Too much irrigation or poor water are the main causes of…

    When we talk about the abiotic factor within my ecosystem you are talking about rocks, dirt, sun, wind, rain, and extreme temperatures. In my ecosystem you have cactus and grass which gets ate by mice, jackrabbits, insects, and quail, which get eaten by scorpions, lizards, and snakes, which get eaten by hawks and coyotes. Cactus are a plant that has learned to survive in the extreme weather by being able to hold on to the water within itself to survive the extreme heat and dryness during the summer.…

    The life of plants is continuously affected by many biotic and abiotic stresses, and many of these stress responses are accompanied by plant hormone ethylene. The gaseous ethylene is naturally occurring substance that influences many necessary plant growth and developmental processes and storage life of a variety of fruits, vegetables and ornamental and greenhouse crops. While ethylene has many beneficial effects on plant growth and health, it also has deleterious effects on the quality of many agricultural products, which results in huge economic impact. Studies have demonstrated that ethylene biosynthesis and sensitivity are highly regulated. The primary regulation of the biosynthetic pathway is ACC synthase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the…

    All ecosystems have the ability to withstand stress. They are able to resist being disturbed or altered and will restore themselves to their original condition if not disturbed too drastically. There are both natural and human induced stresses. An ecosystem is the dynamic complex interaction of plant, animal and microorganism communities and their non-living environment as a functional unit. Ecosystems include the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) elements of the environment and the relationships between the components. For the correct functioning of ecosystems it is imperative that the dynamic equilibrium (balanced change) is kept under control…
