Abstract excerpt
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits the germination of many seeds, including Arabidopsis, but the mechanism for this is not known. In cereals, ABA inhibits the expression of genes involved in storage reserve mobilization. We have found that in Arabidopsis ABA decreases transcription from the promoters of marker genes for beta-oxidation and the glyoxylate cycle, essential pathways for the conversion of...
