Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 50, No. 339 (OCTOBER 1999), pp. 1599-1605 (7 pages) Abscisic acid (ABA), conjugated abscisic acid, phaseic acid (PA), and conjugated phaseic acid were determined ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 66, No. 5 (2015), pp. 1191-1203 (13 pages) Tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs) are integral membrane proteins that are known to function in plants as aquaporins.

Plant stomata play a role in water loss and carbon dioxide uptake from leaves. A researcher has found that the plant hormone abscisic acid underlies the differences in certain critical features of ...

Understanding this regulation is vital for breeding resilient cucumbers that can adapt to varied environmental and market ...

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.

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves. The study highlights how ABA and auxin, another key ...

Phaseic acid is a plant hormone and an oxidation metabolite of past Molecule of the Week abscisic acid. Like its precursor, it is an isoprenoid; both are products of a long series of biosynthetic ...

A research team led by Prof. Cao Xiaofeng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered a key translational regulatory mechanism ...
