Climate change poses a significant threat to global agricultural systems, altering environmental conditions and impacting plant physiology. This review explores the intricate relationship between climate change and plant physiology, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for plant adaptation. Through an analysis of current research, this paper examines the effects of changing temperature, CO2 concentration, water availability, and extreme weather events on plant growth, development, and metabolism. Furthermore, the review delves into various adaptive mechanisms plants employ in response to these changes. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding plant responses to climate change to develop effective adaptation strategies for sustaining agricultural productivity. This paper also discusses future prospects, including advancements in genetic modification, breeding techniques, and precision agriculture that can aid plants in coping with the evolving climate.
