Summary
This narrative review, authored by a multi-institutional team predominantly from Indian research institutions, synthesises advances in understanding how phytohormonal signalling networks contribute to plant resilience under abiotic stress conditions. It likely covers key hormonal classes — including abscisic acid, jasmonates, ethylene, and brassinosteroids — and their roles in mediating drought, salinity, heat, and cold stress responses. The review also appears to evaluate emerging strategies, potentially including exogenous hormone application and genetic approaches, for improving abiotic stress tolerance in crops.
UK applicability
Although the authorship is primarily from India and the focus is likely on tropical and subtropical crop contexts, the underlying phytohormonal mechanisms reviewed are broadly applicable to UK arable and horticultural crops facing increasing abiotic stress pressures — particularly drought and heat — under climate change. Findings may inform UK plant breeding programmes and crop management strategies aimed at building climate resilience.
Key measures
Phytohormone signalling pathways; stress-responsive gene expression; plant physiological and biochemical stress tolerance indicators
Outcomes reported
The review likely examines how plant hormones such as abscisic acid, ethylene, jasmonates, salicylic acid, and brassinosteroids mediate plant responses to abiotic stresses including drought, heat, salinity, and waterlogging. It probably synthesises current understanding of signalling pathways and emerging biotechnological or agronomic strategies for enhancing stress tolerance in crops.
