Production of Plant Hormones from Algae and Its Relation to Plant Growth

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Marine and freshwater algae are similar to other plants; they produce different bioactive compounds collectivity referred to as natural products which are synthesized by these microorganisms at the end of their growth phase due to the metabolic changes induced by various environmental stress factors/conditions. From these active ingredients are plant hormones and other growth regulators (such as gibberellin, auxin, ethylene, cytokinin, etc.). The hormonal substances are produced not only by the highly evolved terrestrial plants but also by the lower primitive thallophytic algae, and they function similarly. The present chapter focused mainly on plant hormone production from marine macroalgae and the effects of biotic and abiotic stresses on productions of each kind of phytohormones from these organisms which were rarely cultured and studied in the laboratory. So the stress factors on algae were considered in these cases.
