Summary
It is well known that phytohormones regulate numerous developmental processes in plants and their adaptation to environmental changes. The term “hormone” refers not only to the originally defined “classical hormones” (auxins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, gibberellins, and ethylene) but also to salicylic acid derivatives, brassinosteroids, jasmonic acid, peptide hormones, and strigolactones. Metabolism of phytohormones, the systems of their long-distance transport, signaling, perception, and intracellular transmission are all areas of active and vigorous research conducted to elucidate further the inner mechanisms of the fundamental phyto-cellular processes of cell division, elongation, and differentiation, branching of roots and shoots, photosynthesis, water balance, absorption and metabolism of mineral nutrients, and association of plants with microorganisms among others. Even though much valuable information has accumulated in this area, many questions remain unanswered. We invite researchers to submit articles for this special issue. We welcome submissions of experimental and review papers reporting new results of the study of hormonal action mentioned above, as well as any other mechanisms related to hormonal control of plant development and environmental adaptation, including experiments with hormonal mutants and transgenic plants.
