Plant Hormones: Some Glimpses on Biosynthesis, Signaling Networks, and Crosstalk

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sensory Biology of Plants

Abstract

Plant hormones are major cellular signaling molecules that modulate growth and development and respond to internal and external cues in plants although differently than is understood about hormones specific to animals. The fortuitous discovery of hormones in animal/human systems and plants occurred around the similar time span. Hormones are also functional in the same cells where they are synthesized as well as in the neighboring or distant cell. Although at least nine plant hormones are now recognized, many more could be discovered and characterized in the future. Their perception, intra- and intercellular movement/communication, and interaction with receptors and gene regulators are better understood now; however, the intimate details are yet to be discovered. Each plant hormone has a unique/specific function and also regulates networks of other hormones via crosstalks involving specific transcription factors and small RNAs. This new knowledge has brought to light the fact that the regulation of plant physiological processes involves a complex crosstalk among different hormones. The new developments in various technologies, including forward genetics, ease of plant transformation systems, and the gain-of-function and loss-of-function model systems, have contributed to the progress made thus far. This chapter provides salient features on hormone biology and selected crosstalks between hormones impacting various plant processes and the responses to abiotic stresses.
