Cell signaling enables plants to perceive internal and external signals and convert them into physiological responses. This presentation will give an overview of signal transduction pathways that modulate growth, development, and stress response. The participants will be introduced to hormone signaling networks, such as auxins, abscisic acid, and jasmonates, and how they communicate with each other by crosstalk. The session focuses on the functions of receptor kinases, phosphorylation cascades, and calcium signaling as key mediators of cellular communication. Scientists will also address second messengers like reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide in the amplification of plant responses. Participants will learn about systemic signaling that coordinates response between roots and shoots. The session will draw attention to plant strategies for sensing environmental stimuli like light, temperature, and pathogens. Case studies will illustrate the impact of signaling disruption on plant productivity and stress resilience. Advanced technologies like live-cell imaging and biosensors will also be discussed. This session offers an integrated overview of cell-to-cell and organismal communication in plants.
Welcome to Plant Biology Conference 2026, where global researchers, academicians, and ecologists unite to share advancements in plant genetics, physiology, biotechnology, ecology, and sustainable agriculture and conservation practices.
