Abstract

Plant hormones regulate multiple physiological and metabolic systems through different signaling channels. The complex signaling network and metabolic processes play a major role in plant growth and responses to various environmental stresses. Extensive studies have unveiled most of the members of plant hormones and elucidate their principal effects on plant cell systems. Brassinosteroids (BRs) and ethylene are the two major biomolecules playing adorable roles in plant growth, physiological processes, and stress responses. Their collective interaction with each other and physiological parameters harmonize the important functions at different stages of plant growth and development. They also play a major role in biotic and abiotic stresses. This study examined the interrelation of ethylene and BRs during different developmental stages. It also highlights the two hormones’ role during fruit ripening, stomatal closure, reproduction, abiotic stresses, and biotic stresses. The BRs and ethylene possess an antagonistic influence on the expansin gene AtEXPA5 expression. That antagonistic interrelation is responsible for the hook formation during the gravitropic growth of hypocotyls. The ethylene and BR cross talk comprises a complex network of signaling pathways, e.g., the ACC synthase pathway. Phytotoxins positively interact with ethylene pushing the plant into more stressed conditions. In this study, we have accounted both the hormones together to understand the plant responses better. This will help in providing knowledge of different interacting processes involved in these hormones. The cross talks of important plant hormones, such as BRs and ethylene, will provide us remarkable proficiency to induce stress resistance and enhance plant productivity.
