Biosynthesis, Biological Role and Application of Fungal Phytohormones

  • Chapter
Industrial Applications

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 10))

Abstract

Phytohormones and their crucial role in the elicitation of plant physiological processes have been known since 1937, when Went and Thimann published their classic book Phytohormones (cited in Kende and Zeevaart 1997). At that time, the term phytohormones was synonymous with auxin. Later on, gibberellins (GAs), ethylene, cytokinins and abscisic acid (ABA) together with auxins were regarded as the “classical five” phytohormones. Over the years, new biologically active compounds with hormonal functions have been found, such as jasmonic acid, brassinolides and oligosaccharides (Creelman and Mullet 1997).
