Plants face many stresses, especially abiotic ones that harm their growth. Salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) are important hormones that help plants deal with these stresses. SA increases in plants when stress hits, and applying it before stress can help plants tolerate it better. SA works with hydrogen peroxide to help plants cope with stress. JA also helps plants handle stress by changing its levels in plants. Both SA and JA can be used to help plants survive tough conditions.
