How Plant Hormones Mediate Salt Stress Responses

Zipeng Yu et al. Trends Plant Sci. 2020 Nov.

Abstract

Salt stress is one of the major environmental stresses limiting plant growth and productivity. To adapt to salt stress, plants have developed various strategies to integrate exogenous salinity stress signals with endogenous developmental cues to optimize the balance of growth and stress responses. Accumulating evidence indicates that phytohormones, besides controlling plant growth and development under normal conditions, also mediate various environmental stresses, including salt stress, and thus regulate plant growth adaptation. In this review, we mainly discuss and summarize how plant hormones mediate salinity signals to regulate plant growth adaptation. We also highlight how, in response to salt stress, plants build a defense system by orchestrating the synthesis, signaling, and metabolism of various hormones via multiple crosstalks.

Keywords: crosstalk among hormones; plant growth; plant hormones; salt adaptation; salt stress.
