Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the “classical” plant hormones, ie discovered at least 50 years
ago, that regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. This chapter reviews our …

Stomata control the flow of gases between plants and the atmosphere. This review is
centered on stomatal responses to elevated CO2 concentration and considers other key …

Functional regulation and structural maintenance of the different organelles in plants
contribute directly to plant development, reproduction and stress responses. To ensure …

Limiting water loss by reducing transpiration helps plants survive when water is limited.
Under drought stress, abscisic acid (ABA)‐mediated gene expression and anion channel …

Water availability is a main limiting factor for plant growth, development, and distribution
throughout the world. Stomatal movement mediated by abscisic acid (ABA) is particularly …

Stomatal movement plays an essential role in plant responses to drought stress, and the
actin cytoskeleton and abscisic acid (ABA) are two important components of this process …

The opening and closing of stomata are crucial for plant photosynthesis and transpiration.
Actin filaments undergo dynamic reorganization during stomatal closure, but the underlying …

The SCAR/WAVE complex is required for ARP2/3-mediated actin nucleation, and these
complexes are highly conserved in plants and animals [1, 2]. Proteins from the SCAR/WAVE …
