Abscisic acid (ABA) is a major plant hormone involved in stress responses, including dormancy and (hence its name) leaf fall. For two decades the search has been on for a physiological receptor ...

How natural drug, abscisic acid, fights inflammation Date: December 12, 2010 Source: Virginia Tech Summary: Researchers have discovered how abscisic acid, a natural plant hormone with known ...

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a vital phytohormone that regulates mainly stomatal aperture and seed development, but ABA receptors involved in these processes have yet to be determined. We previously ...

This week I’ll look at abscisic acid, ethylene and gibberellins. Abscisic acid, also known as ABA, was thought for many years to control the abscission, ...

Abscisic acid is a hormone that can cause plants to lose their leaves, a process known as abscission. In the 1960s, researchers determined its structure and showed that it is found in many plants.

Two Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinases, CPK4 and CPK11, Regulate Abscisic Acid Signal Transduction in Arabidopsis. Sai-Yong Zhu, Xiang-Chun Yu, Xiao-Jing Wang, Rui Zhao, Yan Li, Ren-Chun Fan, Yi Shang, ...

Root and foliar spray abscisic acid applications were studied to determine how ABA affects the incidence of blossom-end rot in distal tissue of tomato fruit. A combination of spray and root ABA ...
