Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Under Abiotic Stress: A Crosstalk on Phytohormones’ Perspective

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Growth Regulators

Abstract

Abiotic pressures such as metal/metalloids, salinity stress, ultraviolet-B radiation and ozone, temperature extremes, and water stress are the most potent limiting factors to sustainable agricultural practices in general and medicinal and aromatic plants in particular. Abiotic stresses alter the plants’ physiological/biochemical and molecular network, which in turn induce abnormalities in plant metabolic processes like growth, photosynthetic potential, development, and yield. Plant stress physiologists are currently engaged in cutting area research for engineering tolerance via the modulation of stress markers by external supplementation of organic and inorganic signaling elicitors. Phytohormones are organic signaling elicitors that control growth and development under a myriad of abiotic stresses in diverse crop plants. Very little attention has been paid on unraveling the mechanisms in medicinal and aromatic plants under abiotic stresses. In particular, the regulatory role of phytohormones is gaining new insights in improving abiotic stress tolerance in medicinal and aromatic plants in which phytohormones mediate the regulation of principal plant metabolic processes. Considering various recent updates, the current chapter highlights the role of phytohormones during environmental stresses in medicinal and aromatic plants. Special attention has been paid on the potentiality of foliar and priming application of phytohormones in imparting abiotic stress tolerance in medicinal and aromatic plants. In addition, some type specimens representing some important medicinal and aromatic plants have also been highlighted. Finally, a conclusion drawn from the present piece of collected literature at the end shows how phytohormones impart abiotic stress tolerance. The present review may elucidate new underlying mechanisms of phytohormone-mediated abiotic stress tolerance in medicinal and aromatic plants.
