Major Phytohormones Under Abiotic Stress

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Physiological Mechanisms and Adaptation Strategies in Plants Under Changing Environment

Abstract

Plants have evolved numerous mechanisms to cope with abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, high temperatures, chilling, heavy metal stress as well as UV or mechanical wounding. To survive in unfavorable conditions, plants have developed perception of external signals which leads to induction of defense mechanisms. Abiotic stress conditions, individually or in combination, require a set of specific acclimation responses, tailored to the definite needs of the plant, and a combination of two or more different stresses might require a response that is also equally specific. Phytohormones are essential for the ability of plants to adapt to changing environments, by mediating growth, development, nutrient allocation, and source/sink transitions. The phytohormones engaged in the defense responses to abiotic stresses are abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene (ET), auxin (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA), cytokinins (CKs), jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), brassinosteroids (BRs), and polyamines (PAs). Much evidence has implicated the key role of ABA, ET, IAA, CKs, JA, and SA in plant signaling pathways in plant responses to abiotic stresses, whereas the defensive mechanisms induced by some phytohormones, such as GA, BRs, and PAs, are less well studied. Phytohormones function as signal molecules in regulation of the expression of defensive genes and modification of enzyme activity. These phytohormones can act separately or coordinate with other signaling pathways in a complex network. Cross-talk between the different hormones results in synergetic or antagonistic interactions that play crucial roles in the response of plants to abiotic stress.

The molecular mechanisms regulating hormone synthesis, signaling, and action have been elucidated recently, and the roles of hormones in responses to changing environments have been demonstrated. In this chapter, we summarize recent progress concerning the essential role of phytohormones in plant responses to abiotic stress, which has brought changes in transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics.
