Plants require extrinsic factors like air, water, light, nutrition, etc. for the regulation of their
growth and development. Similarly, phytohormones are equally important for plants as …

The plant hormone brassinosteroid (BR) plays essential roles in plant growth and
development, while also controlling plant stress responses. This dual ability of BR is …

Environmental stresses present major challenges in our quest to achieve sustainable food
production. The reactions of plants to environmental stresses are complex and involve many …

Biotic and abiotic stresses, especially heavy metal toxicity, are becoming a big problem in
agriculture, which pose serious threats to crop production. Plant hormones have recently …

Plants are vulnerable to many abiotic stresses, resulting in reduced plant productivity. Its
