Understanding the response of plants to abiotic stress is becoming crucial due to the current environmental and climatic challenges. For example, drought can lead to a hyperosmotic environment for plant cells.
In this video, Mélanie De Oliveira E Silva explains the hyperosmotic reactions of cells in plants. First, the phenomenon of osmosis and its importance in plant cells is described. Then, the impact of a hyperosmotic environment on plant cells is explored.
Mélanie De Oliveira E Silva is a student in the Cell Physics Master at the University of Strasbourg, France.
