Drought stress in fruit trees – a review (morfological, physiological and biochemical basis of tolerance)

In the natural environment, plants are subjected to a variety of abiotic stresses that cause adverse effects on their growth, development, yield, and quality. Plants evolved some resistance to stress during their evolution, such as specific physiological and metabolic mechanisms that allow them to adapt and survive in unfavorable environments. Among the environmental stresses, drought stress is one of the most adverse factors to the growth and productivity of fruit plants in many orchards. Fruit species make adjustments to adverse environmental conditions by using a different mechanism for protection, including morfological, physiological, and anatomical adaptations, in order to adapt and minimize stress-induced damage. Assessing fruit stress resistance to drought stress is crucial for the continuity and sustainability of fruit production. Because climate change has the potential to increase abiotic stress factors, it is important to understand how fruit production will be affected and how fruit species detect stress signals and adapt to adverse environmental conditions.
