Abstract excerpt
To study role of abscisic acid (ABA) in cold acclimation and cold/freezing tolerance in wheat, we analyzed an ABA-hypersensitive mutant of Triticum aestivum, named ABA27. ABA-hypersensitivity in ABA27 was confirmed by bioassays involving germination and seedling growth and expression analysis of ABA-responsive genes in comparison with the parental cultivar 'Chihoku-komugi' (Chihoku). ABA27 showed significantly...
