Salicylic Acid and Nutrients Interplay in Abiotic Stress Tolerance

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Abiotic stress factors, such as cold, heat, drought, flood, salinity, or oxidizing agents, are the major threats to agricultural system that affect the economic yield of crop plants. Phytohormones, the chemical messengers, play a vital role in resistance of plants to the changing environments by regulating physiological and molecular processes. Salicylic acid (SA) regulates photosynthetic events, nutrient metabolism, osmotic relations, and defense mechanisms in plants growing under optimal and changing environmental conditions. The role of SA in the regulation of nutrients metabolism and their interplay for abiotic stress tolerance is in infancy stage. Few reports are available on the interaction between SA and macro- and micronutrients and the influence of nutrients on SA biosynthesis and perception. The present chapter discusses the role of SA in macro-, micro-, and beneficial elements in the alleviation of adverse effects of abiotic stresses in plants. Moreover, it also covers the effect of deficiency or excess of the mineral nutrients on SA-induced abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms. The topics covered in the chapter are (a) biosynthesis and signaling of SA in plants exposed to major abiotic stresses (b) and understanding the mechanisms underlying between SA and nutrient signal transduction pathway in plants for abiotic stress tolerance.
