Ethylene is a gaseous phytohormone and the first of this hormone class to be discovered. It
is the simplest olefin gas and is biosynthesized by plants to regulate plant development …

Drought can be considered as a cocktail of multiple stressful conditions that contribute to
osmotic and ionic imbalance in plants. Considering that water is vital for plant life, the very …

The plant immune system is fundamental for plant survival in natural ecosystems and for
productivity in crop fields. Substantial evidence supports the prevailing notion that plants …

Phytohormones act as chemical messengers and, under a complex regulation, allow plants
to sustain biotic and abiotic stresses. Thus, phytohormones are known for their regulatory …

Abiotic stresses are the primary sources of crop losses globally. The identification of key
mechanisms deployed and established by plants in response to abiotic stresses is …

Abiotic stress is a primary threat to fulfill the demand of agricultural production to feed the
world in coming decades. Plants reduce growth and development process during stress …

Abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, heat, cold, flooding, and ultraviolet radiation
causes crop losses worldwide. In recent times, preventing these crop losses and producing …

Maintaining microbiome structure is critical for the health of both plants and animals. By re-
screening a collection of Arabidopsis mutants affecting root immunity and hormone …

Transcription factors (TFs) play a significant role in signal transduction networks spanning
the perception of a stress signal and the expression of corresponding stress-responsive …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the “classical” plant hormones, ie discovered at least 50 years
ago, that regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. This chapter reviews our …
