Molecular and systemic regulation of plant interactions and stress responses

In natural habitats, plants are constantly exposed to a variety of different stress factors and engage in complex interactions with other organisms. These interactions play a pivotal role in shaping plant growth, survival, and reproduction. Gaining a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind these interactions is crucial, not only for advancing agricultural practices and biotechnological innovations but also for ensuring human nutrition and overall health.
