13.8 CONCLUSIONS
Response of plant to stress induced by abiotic factors is complex and is
regulated by a number of genes acting directly or indirectly. The advent of
molecular tools has helped in understanding the basic mechanism of the
tolerance or resistance to various factors paving the way for developing
the mitigation strategies to be adopted in flower crops.
