Abstract

Abiotic stresses, among which extreme temperatures, salinity, drought, UV radiation, heavy metal pollution, etc., adversely affect the growth and yield of cereals, the most important group of monocotyledonous plants that have met the nutritional and other needs of mankind for thousands of years. To cope with stress, plants deploy certain adaptive strategies that combine morphological, physiological, and biochemical responses, and on which growth and productivity depend. An important place in the formation of such strategies is occupied by phytohormones – signaling biomolecules of a different chemical structure and physicochemical properties, which act in nanomolar concentrations and regulate most physiological and metabolic processes of plants. In this review, the latest literature data concerning the growth and development regulation by exogenous phytohormones in cereals under abiotic stresses have been analyzed and summarized. The effects of priming and foliar treatment with abscisic acid, gibberellins, auxins, cytokinins, brassinosteroids, jasmonic and salicylic acids on the cultivated cereals tolerance to different abiotic stressors are discussed. Peculiarities of bilateral and multilateral hormonal signaling in the formation of responses of cultivated cereals to abiotic stressors after application of exogenous phytohormones are considered. The issue of exogenous phytohormones effects on molecular mechanisms controlling the synthesis of endogenous hormones, their signaling and activity are singled out. It is emphasized that phytohormonal engineering opens new opportunities to increase yields and is seen as an important promising approach to overcoming the cereal losses caused by adverse external factors.
