Abstract
Heat stress in plants in general, and especially in cultivated agricultural or horticultural species, is a complicated issue since it often occurs simultaneously with drought stress. For this reason, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the two and extensive research theoretical and applied, has taken this stress bull by its two horns, not always making a clear distinction between the relative importance of each in terms of coping strategies. However, much recent research conducted under conditions of optimal water supply has provided conclusive evidence that high temperature stress is an independent syndrome, although some secondary effects may be common to both drought and water stress symptoms.
