Technical Abstract: Plant growth hormones play essential roles in development and regulate the interaction of plants with the environment (Davies, 1995). The focus of this Special Issue is on understanding the roles of different hormones and their interactions in mediating the effects of abiotic and biotic stresses on plant development. Future projections are for increased environmental instability with further impacts of abiotic and biotic stress on crop yield (Verslues et al., 2023). Understanding the role of hormones in mediating the trade-off between stress and development will enable the generation of resilient crops for the future.
