Ecological conditions and sources such as water, temperature, solar radiation, and carbon dioxide concentration are factors that limit plant growth, development, and reproduction. Deviations from the optimal values of these factors can cause stress. Plants are subjected to multiple abiotic and biotic stresses that adversely influence plant survival and growth by inducing physiological dysfunctions (Kozlowski & Pallardy, 2002). On the other hand, plants use different strategies for survival that
