Implications in Phytohormone Research: From Lab to Field

Phytohormones like auxins, gibberellins, and ascorbic acid play very crucial part in the normal growth and development of plants. They are responsible for a variety of physiological functions. The most important aspect is its involvement in stress signaling and responses. With the changing climatic conditions, plants are at high risk of facing adverse environmental influences. In recent years, excessive studies conducted on the activity of phytohormones under stress in laboratories have provided the scientific world with some probable credible solutions. The transition from laboratory-based explications to real-world applications is quite challenging. This review chapter dives into a timeline of the transition from basic research, mostly done in lab settings, to actual agricultural operations. The immense potential in question, such as improved productivity of crops, resiliency, and stress mitigation measures, is contrasted with the difficulties encountered during this transition, such as scalability and ecological unpredictability. Phytohormone research and developing technologies have the potential to lead to novel and sustainable agricultural practices in the future. In the pursuit of a future with safe access to food, this review emphasizes the significance of closing the gap between laboratory research and practical implementation.
