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 the 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 with latest biotechnological approaches, functional genomics and gene editing examples of phytohormonal signaling to obtain stress tolerance in plants.

Aimed at a diverse readership, including plant and algal biotechnology researchers, stress biologists, scientists, educators, and students, the book serves as a valuable resource for those interested in plant physiology, molecular biology, and biotechnology. Its comprehensive coverage of phytohormonal roles in stress responses makes it pertinent for both academic research and practical applications in agriculture and environmental sciences.

Features:

· In-Depth Analysis of Phytohormone Functions.

· Exploration of Hormonal Crosstalk Under Stress Conditions.

· Functional Genomics and Phytohormonal Signaling.

· Advances in Gene Editing Technologies.

· Physiological Significance in Algal Stress Responses.

This book serves as a reference book for researchers and scientific investigators and may also be used as a textbook for a postgraduate and graduate level students that need to understand the physiology and molecular biology of abiotic stress tolerance.
