N2 - Heat stress is a primary abiotic stress for plant growth, particularly temperate plant species. There is increasing evidence that pre-exposing plants to mild stress (stress priming) can enhance plant tolerance to a later heat event, a phenomenon known as acquired stress tolerance.

This review summarizes current literature on the effectiveness of stress priming on heat tolerance, as manifested by improved physiological health, growth and yield production in various plant species.
