"Global warming and plant adaptations to environmental factors"

Global warming is one of the most urgent environmental problems today. There are various causes of global warming. The most famous is the "greenhouse effect" - the main cause is the release of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, (HCFCs), (HFCs). The observed increase in global warming is unprecedented compared to historical averages. Predicting the consequences of global warming is one of the most difficult tasks facing climate researchers. Global warming has a negative impact on both the environment and living organisms. Nowadays, the most significant consequence of climate change is drought stress. Drought is one of the important, alarming, and hazardous abiotic stresses responsible for the alterations in soil environment affecting soil organisms, including microorganisms and plants. Plants have to deal with such problems as high radiation, lack of water and etc. Plants evolved an array of adaptive strategies that perceive stress stimuli and respond to these stress signals through specific mechanisms. Morphological acclimation responses to temperature elevation below damaging heat stress levels are termed thermomorphogenesis. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a premier signal for plants to respond to drought and plays a critical role in plant growth and development. ABA triggers a variety of physiological processes such as stomatal closure, organizing soil microbial communities and activation of transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene expression, and metabolic alterations. Humans must protect and preserve our nature for our survival.
