Why high heat stressed plants?

High heat stressed plants experience physiological damage due to excessive temperatures, which can disrupt their metabolic processes. Elevated heat can lead to increased transpiration rates, causing water loss and dehydration. Additionally, heat stress can impair photosynthesis, reduce nutrient uptake, and lead to the production of harmful reactive oxygen species. Ultimately, these factors can result in stunted growth, reduced yield, and even plant death if conditions persist.
