“…These environmental constraints, both biotic and abiotic, are the leading causes of crop loss and are threats to sustainable agriculture and ecological purposes worldwide (Abdelrahman, Burritt, & Tran, ; AbuQamar, Moustafa, & Tran, ; Millar & Bennett, ; Pandey, Irulappan, Bagavathiannan, & Senthil‐Kumar, ; Suzuki, Rivero, Shulaev, Blumwald, & Mittler, ; Zhu, ). As a survival strategy, plants have evolved various responses to adverse conditions by triggering a series of morpho‐physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes (Abdelrahman, Jogaiah, Burritt, & Tran, ; W. Li et al, ; Mostofa et al, ; Mostofa et al, ; Suzuki et al, ), all of which are perceived and controlled by signal transduction and reprogramming of genetic and metabolic pathways. Phytohormones are integral components for the coordination of such changes to generate sophisticated responses in order to optimize plant growth and development under stress conditions (Abdelrahman, El‐Sayed, Jogaiah, Burritt, & Tran, ; Choudhary, Yu, Yamaguchi‐Shinozaki, Shinozaki, & Tran, ; S. Ha, Vankova, Yamaguchi‐Shinozaki, Shinozaki, & Tran, ; W. Li, Herrera‐Estrella, & Tran, ; Wani, Kumar, Shriram, & Sah, ).…”
