Emerging Trends in Physiological and Biochemical Responses of Salicylic Acid

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Salicylic Acid: A Multifaceted Hormone

Abstract

Salicylic acid (SA) is one of the important plant growth regulators that has garnered focus due to its crucial role in both physiological aspects and plant defense responses. Several studies throw light on its role in regulation of various biochemical pathways that further shows its control on morphology and physiology of plants. It is involved in conferring innate immunity to plants against both biotic and abiotic stresses by influencing multiple processes. It interacts with transcription factors and thus alters gene expression. It is also instrumental in controlling the expression of PR genes through NPR1 proteins. RNA silencing mechanisms in viral infections also become activated with SA and thus provide immunity. Plants also gain systemic acquired resistance through SA that causes stimulation of long-distance mobile signaling and activation of transcriptional coactivators. The studies thus indicate that SA is involved in regulation of mechanisms responsible for plant morphology, physiology, and responses to stress.
