Plant Responses to Light Stress: Oxidative Damages, Photoprotection, and Role of Phytohormones

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Hormones under Challenging Environmental Factors

Abstract

Light stress is the most uncharacterized and less studied among the various types of abiotic stresses experienced by the plant systems. Plants, being sessile organisms, cannot escape from such stresses, and one of the mechanisms of adaptation under such hostile circumstances is mediated through the altered regulation of phytohormones. In this book chapter, we have presented an exhaustive literature-based study on the different kinds of light stress encompassing light quality and type, the basic mechanism of perception of UV-B (the most harmful) rays by the plant system, the general metabolites which get upregulated under stress, and then a detailed excerpt on the role of phytohormones like auxin, gibberellic acid, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid under such conditions. Based on this account, our chapter also aims at integrating the perception of light stress-signaling pathway with the phytohormone-signaling networks, thus providing the idea of a universal cross talk occurring in plant cells, exposed to a variety of light stresses.
