Abiotic stress is a primary threat to fulfill the demand of agricultural production to feed the
world in coming decades. Plants reduce growth and development process during stress …

Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait that does not allow the germination of an intact viable
seed under favorable environmental conditions. Non-dormant seeds or seeds with low level …

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates many key processes involved in plant
development and adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. Under stress conditions, plants …

As sessile organisms, plants have developed specific mechanisms that allow them to rapidly
perceive and respond to stresses in the environment. Among the evolutionarily conserved …

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates numerous developmental processes and adaptive stress
responses in plants. Many ABA signaling components have been identified, but their …

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates key processes relevant to seed germination, plant
development, and biotic and abiotic stress responses. Abiotic stress conditions such as …

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates many agronomically important aspects of plant development,
including the synthesis of seed storage proteins and lipids, the promotion of seed …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the “classical” plant hormones, ie discovered at least 50 years
ago, that regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. This chapter reviews our …

Seed dormancy provides a mechanism for plants to delay germination until conditions are
optimal for survival of the next generation. Dormancy release is regulated by a combination …

During drought, the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) triggers stomatal closure, thus
reducing water loss. Using infrared thermography, we isolated two allelic Arabidopsis …
