Plant hormones regulate development and physiological status of plants, including stress responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Numerous phytohormonal signaling-based processes have been exploited for obtaining stress-tolerant or stress-resistant plants and improved crop vigor and productivity. Recent advances in gene editing technologies like CRISPR/Cas9 has opened new areas of plant biotechnological approaches for improving plant/crop variety and stress tolerance. Phytohormones: Important Player in Combating Plant Abiotic Stress provides an updated understanding of plant hormone biology, signaling, cross-talk among different plant hormones under multiple environmental stresses, along wi...
