Understanding the complex hormonal interactions that trigger an adequate stress response is a crucial step for developing efficient and eco-friendly strategies for drought resilience of field-grown crops. Exogenously applied plant growth-regulating substances that simulate exposure to hormetic stress activate intrinsic plant defence mechanisms. Subsequently, the triggered protective reactions increase the chances for survival under unfavourable conditions. This concept was successfully tested on lettuce primed with bioequivalent doses of abscisic acid (ABA), in combination with ethylene precursor (ACC), an auxin-like acting compound (NAA), and cytokinin (kinetin). The experimental data confirmed that hormonal blends consisting of both stress- and growth-promoting hormones combined in physiologically relevant ratios could efficiently alleviate drought stress.
