 A) Physical sensing 
  | 
  
   
 i) usually results from the
  detection of by-products that accumulate in cells due to the uncoupling of
  enzymatic or electron transfer reactions, such as the accumulation of ROS
  during stress caused by too much light. 
  | 
 
| 
   
 B) Biophysical sensing 
  | 
  
   
 ii) often involves the presence of
  specialized proteins that have evolved to sense a particular stress; for
  example, calcium channels that can sense changes in temperature and alter
  Ca2+ homeostasis. 
  | 
 
| 
   
 C) Metabolic sensing 
  | 
  
   
 iii) refers to modifications of
  DNA or RNA structure that do not alter genetic sequences, such as the changes
  in chromatin that occur during temperature stress. 
  | 
 
| 
   
 D) Biochemical sensing 
  | 
  
   
 iv) refers to the mechanical
  effects of stress on the plant or cell structure, for example, the
  contraction of the plasma membrane from the cell wall during drought stress.  
  | 
 
| 
   
 E) Epigenetic sensing 
  | 
  
   
 v) might involve changes in
  protein structure or enzymatic activity, such as the inhibition of different
  enzymes during heat stress.
