TL;DR: Biostimulants are plant extracts that contain a wide range of bioactive compounds that are mostly still unknown and are usually able to improve the nutrient use efficiency of the plant and enhance tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Evaluating the influence of AM symbiosis and exogenous ABA application on plant development, physiology, and expression of several stress-related genes after both drought and a recovery period indicates that AM plants regulate their ABA levels better and faster than non-AM plants, allowing a more adequate balance between leaf transpiration and root water movement during drought and recovery.

TL;DR: The results show that sugar and hormonal signaling interact in the regulation of gibberellic acid-induced gene expression in barley grains, suggesting the existence of an interaction between the hormonal and metabolic regulation of [alpha]-amylase genes in barley grain.

TL;DR: The rise of PvPIP2;1 gene expression and PIP1 protein abundance in the leaves of P. vulgaris plants subjected to drought was correlated with a decline in the transpiration rate, and the increase in the expression of the three PIP genes examined caused by drought and the decline of PIP2 protein abundance were not correlated with any of the parameters measured.

TL;DR: Fertility parameters appear to be very useful for screening Bougainvillea cultivars resistant to prolonged storage periods and plant stress during the experiments was assessed.
