Summary
This special issue aims to explore how plants regulate growth and development through complex signaling networks, emphasizing the integration of environmental cues and endogenous hormones such as phytohormones. Recent advances utilizing multi-omics technologies—including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—have uncovered the molecular mechanisms underlying hormone biosynthesis, signaling pathways, and their extensive cross-talk. Studies reveal that hormone interactions are crucial for plant adaptation to changing environments. The issue encourages submissions that combine experimental approaches with bioinformatic analyses, focusing on the integration of diverse signals like peptides, karrikins, and classical phytohormones in both model and non-model species. The goal is to deepen understanding of the intricate hormone signaling networks and their role in environmental responses, ultimately informing plant breeding and resilience strategies. Scope of the special issue:
· Mechanisms of phytohormone signal transduction and regulatory networks;
· Interactions between environmental signals and hormone signaling pathways;
· Applications of multi-omics technologies in hormone research;
· Hormone biosynthesis, regulation, and cross-talk among different hormones;
· Hormonal functions and regulatory mechanisms in non-model plant species.
