In the course of evolution, plants have developed numerous specific regulatory signal pathways, which are hormonal for the most part. Phytohormones comprise not only such generally recognized endogenous growth regulators as abscisic acid, auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, brassinosteroids (BS), ethylene, salicylic acid (SA), and jasmonates but also recently described derivatives of apocarotenoids—strigolactones (SL). Signal pathways interact at the level of biosynthesis of messengers and their translocation as well as upon activation of target genes. Since abiotic and biotic environmental stressors negatively influence plant productivity, understanding of molecular mechanisms of regulation induced by stress agents may help researchers to produce stress-resistant and high-yielding plants using molecular techniques. This paper is a review of present-day literature dealing with the interaction and interference of nonhormonal and hormonal signals regulating growth and development of plants under ever-changing environmental conditions.
