Hormonal Cross-Talk, Plant Defense and Development: Plant Biology,
Sustainability and Climate Change focuses specifically on plants
and their interaction to auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins,
ethylene, abscisic acid, jasmonates, brassinosteroids,
strigolactones, and the potential those interactions offer for
improved plant health and production. Plant hormones (auxins,
gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid, jasmonates,
brassinosteroids, salicylic acid, strigolactones etc.) regulate
numerous aspects of plant growth and developmental processes. Each
hormone initiates a specific molecular pathway, with each pathway
integrated in a complex network of synergistic, antagonistic and
additive interactions. This is a valuable reference for those
seeking to understand and improve plant health using natural
processes. The cross-talks of auxins - abscisic acid, auxins -
brassinosteroids, brassinosteroids- abscisic acid, ethylene -
abscisic acid, brassinosteroids - ethylene, cytokinins - abscisic
acid, brassinosteroids - jasmonates, brassinosteroids - salicylic
acid, and gibberellins - jasmonates - strigolactones have been
shown to regulate a number of biological processes in plant system.
The cross-talk provides robustness to the plant immune system but
also drives specificity of induced defense responses against the
plethora of biotic and abiotic interactions.
