Hormonal Cross-Talk, Plant Defense and Development: Plant Biology, Sustainability and Climate Change focuses specifically on plants and their interaction to auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid, jasmonates, brassinosteroids, strigolactones, and the potential those interactions offer for improved plant health and production. Plant hormones (auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid, jasmonates, brassinosteroids, salicylic acid, strigolactones etc.) regulate numerous aspects of plant growth and developmental processes. Each hormone initiates a specific molecular pathway, with each pathway integrated in a complex network of synergistic, antagonistic and additive interactions. This is a valuable reference for those seeking to understand and improve plant health using natural processes. The cross-talks of auxins — abscisic acid, auxins — brassinosteroids, brassinosteroids- abscisic acid, ethylene — abscisic acid, brassinosteroids — ethylene, cytokinins — abscisic acid, brassinosteroids — jasmonates, brassinosteroids — salicylic acid, and gibberellins — jasmonates — strigolactones have been shown to regulate a number of biological processes in plant system. The cross-talk provides robustness to the plant immune system but also drives specificity of induced defense responses against the plethora of biotic and abiotic interactions. — Describes hormonal cross-talk and plant defense with suitable illustrations- Includes a focus on secondary metabolites and/or bioactive compounds interactions with various plant hormones- Highlights the use of plant hormones and their interactions in plant growth and developmental processes at physiological, biochemical and molecular levels
