Insight into abscisic acid perception and signaling to increase plant tolerance to abiotic stress

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2021
As changes occur in climate, abiotic stress to agricultural production is an inevitable threat to farmers’ ability to meet an increasing demand to feed people. Plants have developed a stress tolerance mechanism to reduce the effects of such environmental

Effect of the minor ABA metabolite 7′-hydroxy-ABA on Arabidopsis ABA 8′-hydroxylase CYP707A3

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2007
To examine the effect of the minor abscisic acid (ABA) metabolite 7'-hydroxy-ABA on Arabidopsis ABA 8'-hydroxylase (CYP707A3), we developed a novel and facile, four-step synthesis of 7'-hydroxy-ABA from alpha-ionone. Structural analogues of 7'-hydroxy-ABA, 1'-deoxy-7'-hydroxy-ABA, and 7'-oxo-ABA were also synthesized to evaluate the role of the 7 ...

Chloroplast ultrastructure of Hypericum perforatum plants regenerated in vitro after cryopreservation

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
The ultrastructure of leaf mesophyll cells of in vitro cultured Hypericum perforatum L. plants regenerated after cryopreservation was studied. Electron microscopy analysis revealed that the chloroplasts in plants pretreated with abscisic acid and ...

Physiological and agronomical responses to environmental fluctuations of two Portuguese grapevine varieties during three field seasons [PDF]

Ciência e Técnica Vitivinícola, 2018
Extensive agricultural losses are attributed to heat, often combined with drought. These abiotic stresses occur in the field simultaneously, namely in areas with Mediterranean climate, where grapevine traditionally grows.

A Rice NAC Transcription Factor Promotes Leaf Senescence via ABA Biosynthesis1[OPEN]

Plant Physiology, 2017
The NAC transcription factor OsNAC2 plays an important role in ABA-dependent leaf senescence by targeting both abscisic acid biosynthetic and senescence-associated genes.

ABA: Argumentation Based Agents [PDF]

, 2010
Many works have identified the potential benefits of using argumentation to address a large variety of multiagent problems. In this paper we take this idea one step further and develop the concept of a fully integrated argumentation-based agent architecture that allows us to develop agents that are coherently designed on an underlying argumentation ...

Genetic dissection of human ABCE1 in yeast reveals separable requirements for ribosome recycling and suppression of aberrant reinitiation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Human ABCE1 cannot functionally replace its yeast ortholog. Yeast–human chimera analysis identified NBD1 as a major interspecies barrier. Genetic screening yielded hABCE1 revertants that rescue yeast viability but fail to suppress aberrant translation reinitiation in the 3′ UTR.
