A root specific induction of carotenoid biosynthesis contributes to ABA production upon salt stress in arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2014 Abscisic acid (ABA) is a hormone that plays a vital role in mediating abiotic stress responses in plants. Salt exposure induces the synthesis of ABA through the cleavage of carotenoid precursors (xanthophylls), which are found at very low levels in roots.
