Plant Hormones as Mediators of Stress Response in Tea Plants

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Stress Physiology of Tea in the Face of Climate Change

Abstract

The roles of hormones in plant growth, development and responses to stress have extensively been studied in model plants as well as some crop species. Some important genes, molecular players, and transcription factors (TFs) have been shown to play a vital role in mediating multiple hormone-regulated processes and stress responses. Recent transcriptomic analysis in tea plants identified some interesting candidates that are potentially involved in the hormonal control based on the knowledge of model plants. Identification of these genes suggests that modulation of hormone biosynthesis and signaling pathways can be effective toward manipulation of tea composition (quality) and stress tolerance; however, the issue has never been thoroughly reviewed. In this chapter, we aim to discuss those putative genes and TFs and link them with the response of tea plants to different environmental stimuli. In addition, the underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms of hormone-mediated responses to environmental stress are discussed.
