This book provides new insights into the mechanisms of plant
hormone-mediated growth regulation and stress tolerance covering
the most recent biochemical, physiological, genetic, and molecular
studies. It also highlights the potential implications of plant
hormones in ensuring food security in the face of climate change.
Each chapter covers particular abiotic stress (heat stress, cold,
drought, flooding, soil acidity, ozone, heavy metals, elevated CO2,
acid rain, and photooxidative stress) and the versatile role of
plant hormones in stress perception, signal transduction, and
subsequent stress tolerance in the context of climate change. Some
chapters also discuss hormonal crosstalk or interaction in plant
stress adaptation and highlight convergence points of crosstalk
between plant hormones and environmental signals such as light,
which are considered recent breakthrough studies in plant hormone
research. As exogenous application or genetic manipulation of
hormones can alter crop yield under favorable and/or unfavorable
environmental conditions, the utilization of plant hormones in
modern agriculture is of great significance in the context of
global climate change. Thus, it is important to further explore how
hormone manipulation can secure a good harvest under challenging
environmental conditions. This volume is dedicated to Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) 2 and 13. The volume is suitable for plant
science-related courses, such as plant stress physiology, plant
growth regulators, and physiology and biochemistry of phytohormones
for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students at colleges
and universities. The book can be a useful reference for
academicians and scientists involved in research related to plant
hormones and stress tolerance.
