Abscisic Acid as a Potential Deciduous Fruit Tree Nursery Stock Defoliant

Serum Uric Acid as a Potential Concomitant with Carotid Atherosclerosis

Background: Common carotid intima-media thickness (CC-IMT) measured by ultrasonography as a non-invasive method is nowadays known as a marker for early atherosclerosis. Objectives: Survey the relationship between serum uric acid and carotid intima-media thickness considering hypertension. Materials and Methods: This study was designed as a comparative cross-sectional study in northern Ira...

Abscisic acid and sucrose regulate tomato and strawberry fruit ripening through the abscisic acid‐stress‐ripening transcription factor

Although great progress has been made towards understanding the role of abscisic acid (ABA) and sucrose in fruit ripening, the mechanisms underlying the ABA and sucrose signalling pathways remain elusive. In this study, transcription factor ABA-stress-ripening (ASR), which is involved in the transduction of ABA and sucrose signalling pathways, was isolated and analysed in the nonclimacteric fru...

Phosphonamide pyrabactin analogues as abscisic acid agonists.

A four step synthesis towards novel phosphonic pyrabactin analogues is presented. Via a stomatal closure and germination assay, the ability of the analogues to selectively induce the ABA-signaling pathway was demonstrated.

Biosynthesis of abscisic acid: incorporation of radioactivity from [2-14C]mevalonic acid by intact fruit.

Abscisic Acid Signalling as a Target for Enhancing Drought Tolerance

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a vital hormone that confers abiotic stress tolerance in plants. The identification of PYR/PYL/RCAR proteins as bona fide ABA recep‐ tors and the subsequent elucidation of the structural mechanisms of the core ABA signalling pathway in recent years has provided new and powerful in‐ sights in targeting ABA signalling to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in agri‐ culture.
