BIOTIC STRESS

BIOTIC STRESS 

• Stresses are classified as :-

                    a. Biotic stress ( by other organisms).

                    b. A biotic stress (excess or deficit in the environment).

• These stresses can trigger a wide range of plant responses like,

                    1. Altered Gene expression.

                    2. Cellular Metabolism.

                    3. Changes in the growth rates and crop yields.

• Biotic and A biotic stresses reduce the average plant productivity by 65% to 87%.

BIOTIC STRESS:

• Occurs as a result of the damage done to the plants by other living organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites).

• Effects the economic growth as well as the practical development.

• Arabidopsis thaliana was used as a model plant to study the responses of plants to different sources of stress.
