Plant hormones coordinate plant growth, development, and environmental adaptation. This session will address the functions of auxin, gibberellins, and cytokinins in plant physiology. The regulation of abscisic acid and ethylene in stress will be addressed. Molecular mechanisms of perception and transduction of signals will be emphasized by experts. Case studies will illustrate hormone-controlled flowering and fruiting regulation. We will discuss hormone crosstalk and its involvement in intricate networks of signaling. The session highlights the latest developments in plant receptor biology. We will discuss hormonal regulation of plants under drought and salinity stress. Manipulating hormones for crop improvement is discussed. Synthetic biology strategies to rewire plant hormonal responses will be discussed. We will discuss experimental approaches to quantify and image hormones. Applications in crop productivity and stress resilience will be addressed. The session will emphasize future perspectives for hormone signaling research. Participants will see how translational applications are made in biotechnology.
