Water stress adversely impacts many aspects of the physiology of plants, especially
photosynthetic capacity. If the stress is prolonged, plant growth, and productivity are severely …

The ratio of plant carbon gain to water use, known as water use efficiency (WUE), has long
been recognized as a key constraint on crop production and an important target for crop …

Recent reports show ethylene‐dependent reductions in stomatal sensitivity to abscisic acid
(ABA) under ozone stress. These changes reduce stomatal control of plant water loss in …

Although abscisic acid (ABA) is an important hormone that regulates seed dormancy,
stomatal closure, plant development, as well as responses to environmental stimuli, the …

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role not only in fruit development and
ripening, but also in adaptive responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. In these processes …

Drought is the most important environmental stress affecting agriculture worldwide.
Exploiting yield potential and maintaining yield stability of crops in water-limited …

Recent developments in defining the functional basis of abscisic acid in regulating growth,
development and stress response have provided essential components for its actions. We …

Climatic stresses limit plant growth and productivity. In the past decade, tree improvement
programs were mainly focused on yield but it is obvious that enhanced stress resistance is …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays important roles during tomato fruit ripening. To study the
regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis by ABA, the SlNCED1 gene encoding 9-cis …

Global agriculture in the context of growing and expanding populations is under huge
pressure to provide increased food, feed, and fiber. The recent phenomenon of climate …
