Plants experience a remarkable range of interactionswith the abiotic factors in their environments, both aboveground (light, temperature, mechanical stress) and belowground (soil moisture, nutrients, and mechanical properties). Plants' abilities to sense diverse environmental parameters and initiate signaling pathways that activate precise responses have crucial implications for their sur-vival. Plant abiotic interactions also remain a fascinating area of research, providing basic insight into plant biology and enabling efforts to improve crop plants.
