I have seen many reputed journals and high rated scholars has intermixed these so finally it become very dilute to find where shock and stress are different.
I think stress is a prolonged period of a condition in which the plants grow , which is otherwise not suitable for plants while shock is a condition when the same stress is given suddenly for a short time.

Time. Shock is happen suddenly for a short time while stress is a long period. the result of both should be different because time is very important. My opinion:)
Also I didn't mention before, for the same kind of stress, the magnitude of stress may be much higher in case of shock than normal stress. Yes, the result of transcriptome could be different as in case of shock the transcriptome will change suddenly while in case of prolonged stress the there will be some overlap with shock but also the plant will fight against the stress and anti-stress genes will be higher. So yes, one cannot expect the same result in both shock and stress, though the overlap should be quite significant. Time is very important.
