This book represents the authors' lifetime dedication to the study
of inhibitors and phytohormones as well as its practical
applications for achieving a more sustainable agriculture. Their
work focuses on the functions of various groups of active
molecules, their direct effect upon plant growth, but also
implications for their impact upon the surrounding environment are
explored. The main idea of the book evolved from the need to
determine a balance among natural growth inhibitors and
phytohormones. This approach was pursued through a better
understanding of their biochemical pathways, their effects on
plants physiological functions, and their influence upon stress
factors on plant ontogenesis. Therefore, this effort proposes a
more holistic approach to the study of plant physiology, in which
the plant-soil interactions are discussed, with a profound
description of different allelochemicals and their effects on
plants growth. A rigorous attention is also paid to discuss the
role of microorganisms in ecosystems and their capability to
synthesize physiologically active substances, which trigger also
unique plant-microbial interactions. These synergies are leading
scientists to the discovery of major breakthroughs in agriculture
and pharmacology that are revolutionizing old epistemologies and
thus, contributing to the emergence of a philosophy of
interconnectedness for the whole biosphere.
