1. Basic concepts of plant stress (stress, stress factors, acclimation and adaptation) 2. Common mechanisms of stress reactions of plants (ROS - signaling/damage, stress proteins, stress phytohormones, metabolic re-programming, stress-induced senescence) 3. Light as stressor (photoinhibition, UV) 4. Temperature stress (high-temperature, low-temperature stress) 5. Water deficit, salinity 6. Herbicides (pesticides) 7. Heavy metals 8. Biotic stress
