Table 8. Hormonal and Hydroxycinnamic Acids in bananas under water déficit and its applications.

Hormonal and Hydroxycinnamic Acids	Applications	Authors
Methyl jasmonate	Improves drought tolerance, since it moderates the effects of oxidative stress, leading to better plant performance, fresh weight and shoot proliferation rate.	Mahmood et al., 2012 [36]
Abscisic Acid	Trigger adaptation of the plant to drought, as well as reduction of stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate, plant growth in height, circumference, number of leaves and area.	Mahouachi et a., 2014 [37]
Indole-3-acetic acid	It can alleviate leaf senescence, improve survival levels and maintain cell stretching.
Cinnamic acids	They are photoprotectors, since they are involved in the folding mechanism of the leaves, which reduces the area of irradiation and loss of water.
Ferulic acids
Salicylic acid	They may be limited to a rapid and transient increase at the beginning of the first stress period, as they did not respond to consecutive stresses.
Jasmonic acid
Salicylic acid	Promotes increase in the rate of proliferation, fresh weight gain, maintenance of the relative water content and reduction of H2O2.	Bidabadi et al., 2012 [38]
