Description Plants are extensively well-thought-out as the main source for nourishing natural life on earth. In
the natural environment, plants have to face several stresses, mainly heat stress (HS), chilling
stress (CS) and freezing stress (FS) due to adverse climate fluctuations. These stresses are considered
as a major threat for sustainable agriculture by hindering plant growth and development,
causing damage, ultimately leading to yield losses worldwide and counteracting to achieve the
goal of “zero hunger” proposed by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United
Nations. Notably, this is primarily because of the numerous inequities happening at the cellular,
molecular and/or physiological levels, especially during plant developmental stages under temperature
stress. Plants counter to temperature stress via a complex phenomenon including variations
at different developmental stages that comprise modifications in physiological and
biochemical processes, gene expression and differences in the levels of metabolites and proteins.
During the last decade, omics approaches have revolutionized how plant biologists explore
stress-responsive mechanisms and pathways, driven by current scientific developments. However,
investigations are still required to explore numerous features of temperature stress responses in
plants to create a complete idea in the arena of stress signaling. Therefore, this review highlights
the recent advances in the utilization of omics approaches to understand stress adaptation and
tolerance mechanisms. Additionally, how to overcome persisting knowledge gaps. Shortly, the
combination of integrated omics, genome editing, and speed breeding can revolutionize modern
agricultural production to feed millions worldwide in order to accomplish the goal of
“zero hunger.”
