Summary
Plant hormones, pigments, and their underlying mechanisms play a crucial role in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental conditions. As such, they have significant applications in agriculture, horticulture, and biotechnology, and, by understanding these intricate mechanisms, plants can be manipulated to enhance their crop quality and improve their stress tolerance for the development of sustainable agricultural practices, and develop new biotechnological solutions and applications to improve food production, and ensure food security and safety in the face of a changing climate and growing global population. Insights into these bodies of knowledge will not only advance basic plant science, but also yield practical and cutting-edge technological applications in industries that are not just limited to the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical industries, but the halal market as well.
As such, this Special Issue invites researchers to submit their manuscripts (original research articles, review papers, methods, and latest applications) on their state-of-the-art work combining plant hormones, pigments, and biosynthesis mechanisms with bleeding-edge technologies, solutions, and applications to provide insights that correlate with the following themes:
· Hormone signalling,
· pigment biosynthesis,
· hormone-pigment interactions,
· stress responses & environmental adaptation,
· antioxidant properties & antimicrobial activities,
· nutritional values & health benefits, and/or
· halal sciences.
