Overview

Plant abiotic stress refers to the adverse effects of non-living environmental factors on plant growth, development, and productivity, including conditions such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and nutrient deficiencies. Research published in Plant Genetics and Crop Research addresses multiple dimensions of how plants respond to and tolerate these environmental challenges. Studies have examined root system architecture and root phenotypic responses as critical adaptive mechanisms under both abiotic and biotic stress conditions, recognizing that below-ground traits play essential roles in stress resilience. The journal has also published work on genetic diversity and morphometric characterization of crop germplasm, including analyses of chilli and cocoyam collections, which provide foundational knowledge for identifying stress-tolerant varieties and understanding phenotypic variation under diverse growing conditions. Additionally, research on soil health assessment and fertilizer recommendations contributes to understanding the soil-plant interface where many abiotic stresses originate or can be mitigated. This body of work reflects the importance of integrating genetic, phenotypic, and agronomic approaches to enhance crop performance under increasingly variable environmental conditions, a critical concern for global food security as agricultural systems face mounting climate-related challenges.
