Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are critical for plant development as well as for its stress response. They can function as signaling molecules to orchestrate a well-defined response of plants to biotic stress. These responses are further fine-tuned by phytohormones, such as salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and ethylene, to modulate immune response. In the past decades, the intricacies of redox and phytohormonal signaling have been uncovered during plant-pathogen interactions. This review explores the dynamic interplay of these components, elucidating their roles in perceiving biotic threats and shaping the plant's defense strategy. Molecular regulators and sites of oxidative burst have been explored during pathogen perception. Further, the interplay between various components of redox and phytohormonal signaling has been explored during bacterial, fungal, viral, and nematode infections as well as during insect pest infestation. Understanding these interactions highlights gaps in the current knowledge and provides insights into engineering crop varieties with enhanced resistance to pathogens and pests. This review also highlights potential applications of manipulating regulators of redox signaling to bolster plant immunity and ensure global food security. Future research should explore regulators of these signaling pathways as potential target to develop biotic stress-tolerant crops. Further insights are also needed into roles of endophytes and host microbiome modulating host ROS and RNS pool for exploiting them as biocontrol agents imparting resistance against pathogens in plants.
