[Concurrent 25] The road to recovery: Elucidating stress recovery pathways and reversing stress effects
Plants manifest a plethora of responses from the molecular to the phenotypic level when exposed to different environments. For example, plants under water deprivation often develop smaller and darker leaves than their well-watered counterparts. Extensive empirical work has shown that gene expression is a key determinant of the physiological and developmental responses of plants to environmental cues. Further, the return to homeostasis following environmental challenges can be associated with processes distinct from the stressor proper, yet are of equal importance for plant survival. In this session, we will focus on the frontier between stress tolerance and recovery to understand mechanisms affecting reproductivity and yield after encountering stress. Although some studies consider stress recovery, it is mostly presented as a control that stressful conditions have relieved. In order to reshape a plant’s ability to cope with stress and recovery responses and to enhance plant performance under fluctuating environments there is a need to gain a greater understanding of the margin between the stress, differences in response to various stress severities, and stress recovery as a process that can be studied and improved.
