Abstract:
Plants under its natural condition were exposed to various abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, cold, and freezing stress, nutrient deficiency, and mineral toxicity. Abiotic stresses interrupt essential metabolic and signaling pathways, limiting plant growth, development, and its productivity. It is therefore crucial that novel management strategies to make more resistant towards stress are which are based on a good understanding of plant stress responses and how these interface and combine with growth responses. Antitranspirants, materials that reduce transpiration, could potentially result in greater food production by realizing more of a crop’s potential yield during drought. Plant Growth Regulators, are a diverse class of chemicals that act at very low concentrations to control plant growth and development as well as stress responses by activating signal transduction pathways which terminate in the induction of genes, proteins, and metabolites important for stress tolerance.
