Abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect plant growth and
productivity. The phytohormones regulate key physiological events
under normal and stressful conditions for plant development.
Accumulative research efforts have discovered important roles of
phytohormones and their interactions in regulation of plant
adaptation to numerous stressors. Intensive molecular studies have
elucidated various plant hormonal pathways; each of which consist
of many signaling components that link a specific hormone
perception to the regulation of downstream genes. Signal
transduction pathways of auxin, abscisic acid, cytokinins,
gibberellins and ethylene have been thoroughly investigated. More
recently, emerging signaling pathways of brassinosteroids,
jasmonates, salicylic acid and strigolactones offer an exciting
gateway for understanding their multiple roles in plant
physiological processes. At the molecular level, phytohormonal
crosstalks can be antagonistic or synergistic or additive in
actions. Additionally, the signal transduction component(s) of one
hormonal pathway may interplay with the signaling component(s) of
other hormonal pathway(s). Together these and other research
findings have revolutionized the concept of phytohormonal studies
in plants. Importantly, genetic engineering now enables plant
biologists to manipulate the signaling pathways of plant hormones
for development of crop varieties with improved yield and stress
tolerance. This book, written by internationally recognized
scholars from various countries, represents the state-of-the-art
understanding of plant hormones' biology, signal transduction and
implications. Aimed at a wide range of readers, including
researchers, students, teachers and many others who have interests
in this flourishing research field, every section is concluded with
biotechnological strategies to modulate hormone contents or signal
transduction pathways and crosstalk that enable us to develop crops
in a sustainable manner. Given the important physiological
implications of plant hormones in stressful environments, our book
is finalized with chapters on phytohormonal crosstalks under
abiotic and biotic stresses.
