Abstract

A precise apprehension of natural products and their role in the growth and protection of plants is the key to predicate the development of novel products for enhanced plant production, both in vivo as well as in vitro. Over the years, polyamines (PAs) constitute the prime members of ubiquitously appearing natural plant products, tangled with a variety of plant functions ranging from inducing organogenesis to mitigating stress. Various pathways for PA biosynthesis have been elucidated in plants, animals, and micro-organisms stipulating the presence of some PA representatives in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes systems. PAs are low molecular weight diamines that mediate the basal metabolism of plants by regulating various cellular processes including molecular signaling, cell division and differentiation, totipotency, oxidative damage, and various stress responses. Conjugation of PAs with other small molecules like phenolic acids and other cellular components often leads to the accumulation of incongruous interaction between plants and pathogens. PAs thwarts the various plant stress responses by diminishing the toxicity symptoms, modulating the stomatal closure and antioxidant capacity, increasing the germination efficiency, imputing tolerance against the bacterial pathogens, and reducing the viral multiplication. This study explored and summarized the significance of the correlation between different PAs and diverse physiological parameters in plants and supplemented the functioning of PAs under harsh environmental conditions in plants.
