Summary
Plants frequently encounter recurrent biotic and abiotic stresses, potentially resulting in significant yield reductions, especially under severe conditions. Besides the pre-existing defense mechanisms, plants can activate structural and chemical defense mechanisms following a pathogen assault. These inducible defenses are governed by the plant's innate immune system, protecting against various potentially detrimental microorganisms. The regulation of plant immunity involves small-molecule phytohormones. These hormones often interact with each other and transcription factors, regulating physiological and molecular responses, including activation of the antioxidant system, accumulation of amino acids and secondary metabolites, regulation of stomatal opening, closing, photosynthesis, etc.
The Special Issue aims to collect research articles on regulating phytohormone systems, including biosynthesis, signaling under stress conditions, priming, flowering, and plant-pathogen interaction. Studies on plant physiology, molecular biology, and genetics are encouraged to submit manuscripts.
