Abstract:Phytohormones have been acknowledged as an eco-friendly and alternative source for plant growth promotion and abiotic stress tolerance. Heavy metal stress has attained considerable attention worldwide because of its serious effects. Globally, it is a major cause of crop yield loss. Soybean is an important legume crop that continuously faces environmental stress, such as heavy metal stress. The application of plant growth regulators, such as phytohormones, enhances plant tolerance toward heavy metals. Phytohorm… Show more
“…Plants' responses to osmotic adjustment under stress are heavily mediated by phytohormones. Small signaling molecules known as phytohormones have a substantial impact on nearly every aspect of plant development (Sati et al, 2023;Shaffique et al, 2023b). Furthermore, it is generally understood that a single hormone can influence a wide range of cellular and developmental processes or that numerous hormones can regulate a single function at the same time.…”
Phytohormones play vital roles in stress modulation and enhancing the growth of plants. They interact with one another to produce programmed signaling responses by regulating gene expression. Environmental stress, including drought stress, hampers food and energy security. Drought is abiotic stress that negatively affects the productivity of the crops. Abscisic acid (ABA) acts as a prime controller during an acute transient response that leads to stomatal closure. Under long-term stress conditions, ABA interacts with other hormones, such as jasmonic acid (JA), gibberellins (GAs), salicylic acid (SA), and brassinosteroids (BRs), to promote stomatal closure by regulating genetic expression. Regarding antagonistic approaches, cytokinins (CK) and auxins (IAA) regulate stomatal opening. Exogenous application of phytohormone enhances drought stress tolerance in soybean. Thus, phytohormone-producing microbes have received considerable attention from researchers owing to their ability to enhance drought-stress tolerance and regulate biological processes in plants. The present study was conducted to summarize the role of phytohormones (exogenous and endogenous) and their corresponding microbes in drought stress tolerance in model plant soybean. A total of n=137 relevant studies were collected and reviewed using different research databases.
