Description :
Man has become like machine due to modernization and mechanization which is a cause of weakened immunity and many stress prone diseases. Likewise plants are constantly facing to both abiotic and biotic stresses that reduce their productivity. Plant responces to these stresses involve many physiological, molecular and cellular disorders. The damages caused by these various living and nonliving agents can appear very similar. A plant’s response following exposure to abiotic and biotic stress depends on its developmental stage which leads to phenotypic damage. “Resistance” and “tolerance” are the terms used to denote the ability of plant manage the stress, be it biotic or abiotic. This review aims at the effects and tolerance of abiotic and biotic stress on plants.
