TL;DR: Under normal conditions, although CK deficiency increased the sensitivity of plants to exogenous ABA, it caused a downregulation of key ABA biosynthetic genes, leading to a significant reduction in endogenous ABA levels in CK-deficient plants relative to the wild type.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that genetic modulation of SL content/response could provide a new approach for development of crops with improved stress tolerance and cross-talk between SL and ABA plays an important role in integrating stress signals to regulate stomatal development and function.

TL;DR: This systematic analysis has identified excellent tissue-specific and/or dehydration-responsive candidate GmNAC genes for in-depth characterization and future development of improved drought-tolerant transgenic soybeans.

TL;DR: In this review the NAC TF family will be described and the potential use of NACTFs in development of improved stress tolerant transgenic crops will be discussed.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that repression of CK response, and thus CK signaling, is one of the strategies plants use to cope with water deficit, providing novel insight for the design of drought-tolerant plants by genetic engineering.
