phytohormone-signal-transduction
Phytohormone signal transduction refers to the molecular pathways by which plant hormones—such as auxin, cytokinin, ethylene, and jasmonic acid—are perceived by receptors and translated into cellular responses that alter gene expression and physiology. This signaling network coordinates virtually every aspect of plant life, from seed germination and growth to stress responses and defense against pathogens. Understanding these pathways is essential for uncovering how plants integrate environmental cues with developmental programs to adapt and survive.
