Abstract

Abiotic stress, impaired by climate change, poses a significant threat to global fruit crop production, with less than 3.5% of the world's land considered free from such stressors. The ensuing morphological, physiological, and biochemical changes in plants under abiotic stress are explored, underscoring the importance of addressing these challenges for sustainable agriculture. The postharvest diseases induced by pathogens emphasize the role of fruit resistance and intricate defense signaling pathways. Anthocyanins emerge as crucial compounds in mitigating stress-induced damage, with a focus on their chelating properties and diverse functions. Plant hormones' modulation of anthocyanin production is investigated, shedding light on the potential of hormones like abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, cytokinin, gibberellic acid, and ethylene in enhancing stress resistance. The involvement of Gibberellins in plant defense mechanisms and the significance of Salicylic acid in stress response are discussed, providing valuable insights into hormonal regulation under different stress conditions. The responses of fruit crops to temperature, water, salt, and heavy metal stress highlight the complex interactions and adaptations crucial for survival. It highlights the importance of understanding hormonal control mechanisms for enhancing crop resilience and sustainability in the face of global agricultural challenges. Further research is needed to unravel signaling pathways and molecular networks, paving the way for innovative approaches in crop breeding, genetic engineering, and precision agriculture to ensure food security amidst changing environmental conditions.
