This comprehensive book delves into the intricate mechanisms of plant hormone-mediated growth regulation and stress tolerance, encompassing the latest biochemical, physiological, genetic, and molecular studies. It also sheds light on the potential implications of plant hormones in ensuring food security amidst climate change. Spanning across various chapters, each one focuses on a specific abiotic stress, such as heat stress, cold, drought, flooding, soil acidity, ozone, heavy metals, elevated CO2, acid rain, and photooxidative stress. Within these chapters, the versatile role of plant hormones in stress perception, signal transduction, and subsequent stress tolerance is explored, particularly in the context of climate change. Additionally, some chapters delve into hormonal crosstalk or interaction in plant stress adaptation, highlighting recent breakthrough studies in plant hormone research.
Given the significant impact of exogenous application or genetic manipulation of hormones on crop yield under favorable and/or unfavorable environmental conditions, the utilization of plant hormones in modern agriculture holds immense significance in the face of global climate change. Thus, there is a pressing need to further investigate the ways in which hormone manipulation can secure a bountiful harvest under challenging environmental conditions. This volume is dedicated to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 and 13. It is particularly suited for plant science-related courses, including plant stress physiology, plant growth regulators, and physiology and biochemistry of phytohormones for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students at colleges and universities. Furthermore, it serves as a valuable reference for academicians and scientists engaged in research related to plant hormones and stress tolerance.
