Principles of plant nutrition

TL;DR: In this article, the Soil as a Plant Nutrient Medium is discussed and the importance of water relations in plant growth and crop production, and the role of water as a plant nutrient medium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drought and Salt Tolerance in Plants

TL;DR: The responses of plants to salt and water stress are described, the regulatory circuits which allow plants to cope with stress are presented, and how the present knowledge can be applied to obtain tolerant plants is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abscisic acid biosynthesis and catabolism

TL;DR: Identification of ABA metabolic genes has revealed that multiple metabolic steps are differentially regulated to fine-tune the ABA level at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abscisic acid signal transduction

TL;DR: Substantial evidence points to the importance of reversible protein phosphorylation and modifications of cytosolic calcium levels and pH as intermediates in ABA signal transduction.

Guard Cell Signal Transduction Network: Advances in Understanding Abscisic Acid, CO2, and Ca2+ Signaling

TL;DR: Progress in identification of early stomatal signaling components are reviewed, including ABA receptors and CO(2)-binding response proteins, as well as systems approaches that advance the understanding of guard cell-signaling mechanisms.

Abscisic Acid and Photosynthesis in Isolated Leaf Mesophyll Cell

TL;DR: Th Thin slices of leaves preincubated in hypertonic solutions identical to those used to isolate cells were shown to synthesize AbA rapidly, although accumulation of AbA in the cells was low due to extensive release of the newly synthesized AbA into the medium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic interactions between abscisic acid deficient tomato mutants.

TL;DR: The severity of phenotype in the double mutants does not correspond to that predicted from the single mutant homozygotes, and the results are discussed in relation to the probable involvement of the mutants in abscisic acid metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abscisic acid synthesis and metabolism in barley leaves and protoplasts

TL;DR: Protoplasts isolated from barley mesophyll protoplasts were not able to metabolise ABA, PA or any of the other metabolites formed from ABA by intact leaf tissue by intact Leaf tissue.

Abscisic acid and cessation of apical growth in Salix pentandra

TL;DR: Effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on growth and transpiration in seedlings of two ecotypes of Salix pentandra L. were studied in phytotron experiments and no significant differences were found in the ABA contents of LD- and SD-grown plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abscisic acid, xanthoxin and violaxanthin in the caps of gravistimulated maize roots.

TL;DR: The occurrence and distribution of abscisic acid, xanthoxin and the carotenoid violaxanthin were investigated in root tips of maize and support the proposal that Xa may arise from the turnover of Va, supporting a role for ABA in root gravitropism.
