The biological and structural similarity between lunularic acid and abscisic acid.

Investigation of the interaction between abscisic acid (ABA) and excess benzyladenine (BA) on the formation of shoot in tissue culture of tea (Camellia sinensis L.)

The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) and excess benzyladenine (BA) on the formation of shoot from tea (Camellia sinensis L. assamica × sinensis) leaf was investigated in this research. Callus was formed and grew well when explants were cultured on LS basal medium supplemented with (in mg/L) thiamine-HCl, 1.25; pyridoxine-HCl, 0.625; nicotinic acid, 0.625; indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 30; naphthalen...

Research Article: Extraction of abscisic acid and gibberellin from Sargassum muticum (Phaeophyceae) and Gracilaria corticata (Rhodophyta) harvested from Persian Gulf

Phytohormones are present in seaweeds but little is known about occurrence and content of them in seaweeds of Persian Gulf. The aim of this study was extraction of abscisic acid and gibberellin in Sargassum muticum and Gracilaria corticata. The seaweeds were collected bimonthly over one year at Bushehr coasts, Persian Gulf, during a range of environmental conditions. We explored new HPLC method...

Transcriptional Response of Structural and Regulatory Genes Involved in Isoprene Biosynthesis and its Relation to Essential Oil Biosynthesis in Response to Salicylic Acid and Abscisic Acid in Mentha piperita L.

Background: In peppermint, precursors for the biosynthesis of monoterpenes are provided by plastidial methyl-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathways. Objective: In order to increase our understanding of terpene metabolism in M. piperita, the effect of salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic acid (ABA) in the modulation of expression pattern of genes involved in essential oil biosynthesis and secretion wa...

Comparative effects of abscisic acid and two Sulfonamide compounds on tomato under drought conditions . Leila Zeinali Yadegari*, Reza Heidari, Jalil Khara

The effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and its two agonists, Sulfacetamide (Sa) and Sulfasalazine (SS) on tolerance of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. Cv. Super chief) under drought stress were studied. Eight-week plants were treated with ABA (25 and 50 mg/L), Sulfacetamide (Sa) (25, 50 and 100 mg/L) and Sulfasalazine (SS) (25, 50 and 100 mg/L). Solutions were sprayed daily and samp...
