Provided are methods for the production of a stress tolerant plant or precursor thereof. The methods comprise (i) subjecting one or more parental plants to one or more stress conditions selected from unfavourable conditions relating to relative humidity, water availability, periodic drought, nutrients, sunlight, wind, temperature, pH, exogenous chemicals, chemical toxins such as salt, herbivory, prophylactic chemicals, fertilizers, pathogen attack such as bacterial, fungal, or virus infection and pest infestation; and (ii) generating offspring from said one or more parental plants. The offspring show enhanced tolerance relative to the one or more parental plants to one or more stress conditions selected from unfavourable conditions relating to relative humidity, water availability, periodic drought, nutrients, sunlight, wind, temperature, pH, exogenous chemicals, chemical toxins such as salt, herbivory, prophylactic chemicals, fertilizers, pathogen attack such as bacterial, fungal, or virus infection and pest infestation. Also provided are plants, or precursor thereof, produced by the methods and assays for identifying a plant, or precursor thereof, produced by the methods. 1.
