Molecular Insights into Abiotic Stresses in Mango

Area of Science:

• Agricultural Science
• Plant Physiology
• Molecular Biology

Background:

• Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a globally significant fruit crop.
• Abiotic stresses pose major threats to mango growth, development, and yield.
• Understanding mango's molecular response to abiotic stress is complex.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review mechanisms and physiological impacts of abiotic stress on mango.
• To highlight omics approaches for identifying stress-related genes and transcription factors (TFs).
• To summarize the role of biostimulants in improving mango's abiotic stress tolerance.

Main Methods:

• Comprehensive literature review.
• Analysis of physiological and biochemical alterations under abiotic stress.
• Emphasis on high-throughput omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, etc.).

Main Results:

• Abiotic stresses induce significant physiological and biochemical changes in mango.
• Omics approaches are crucial for identifying candidate genes and TFs involved in stress response.
• Biostimulants show potential in mitigating abiotic stress effects.

Conclusions:

• Integrating baseline studies with frontier approaches is essential for understanding mango stress physiology.
• Further research using advanced tools can uncover novel strategies for abiotic stress tolerance.
• This review provides a foundation for future research on mango stress management.
