How plant cope with cold stress?

As sessile organisms, plants are unable to escape from the many abiotic and biotic factors that cause a departure from optimal conditions of growth and development. Low temperature represents one of the most harmful abiotic stresses affecting temperate plants. These species have adapted to seasonal variations in temperature by adjusting their metabolism during autumn, increasing their content of a range of cryo-protective compounds to maximise their cold tolerance. Some of these molecules are synthesised de novo. The down-regulation of some gene products represents an additional important regulatory mechanism. Ways in which plants cope with cold stress are described, and the current state of the art with respect to both the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and crop plants in the area of gene expression and metabolic pathways during low-temperature stress are discussed.

How do plants and animals cope with seasonal stress?

Plants cope with seasonal stress by adjusting their growth processes, such as shedding leaves or slowing down growth during cold or dry seasons. Animals cope by adapting their behavior, such as migrating to warmer areas or hibernating during cold seasons, or storing food during plentiful times to survive scarcity. Both plants and animals have evolved various mechanisms to survive and thrive in different seasons.

What is one potential reason why a plant may be forced to elevate its cell respiratory rate?

One potential reason for a plant to elevate its cell respiratory rate is to produce more energy in response to stress conditions such as extreme temperatures, nutrient deficiencies, or pathogen attacks. Increasing respiration can help the plant meet the energy demands required to cope with the stress and maintain its cellular processes.
