PLANTS RESPONSES AND THE ROLE OF PHYTOHORMONES AGAINST SALINITY STRESS

Abstract

Exposure of plants to diversity of abiotic stresses such as salinity stress retard growth and development of plants which results in huge yield loss worldwide. Plants respond to salinity in unique and complex way that involves many biochemical and physiological changes in plant system. Plant hormones are known to play indispensable roles to elicit an adaptive response in plants under salinity stress. A basic understanding of biological knowledge about the damage that salt stress has on plants and the salt stress tolerance mechanisms is necessary to discover future implications to overcome the effect of salt stress on plants. The main aim of present article is to enhance our knowledge of how salt stress may impact the physiological features of plants and to narrate the potential roles of various phytohormones against the salinity stress at both physiological and molecular grounds.
