Introduction
Plants are constantly exposed to various environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and pathogens. In response to these stressors, plants have evolved complex signaling pathways that involve the interplay of different plant hormones. Plant hormones play crucial roles in regulating plant growth, development, and stress responses. The crosstalk between different plant hormones is essential for plants to effectively respond to stress conditions. Understanding the mechanisms of plant hormone crosstalk in stress response is crucial for developing strategies to enhance stress tolerance in crops.
