Abstract excerpt
The phytohormone ABA plays an important role in plant development and adaptation to diverse environmental stresses. Many of the components involved in ABA signaling remain to be discovered, and knowledge of these is needed to understand fully the highly complex ABA signaling network. Here, we report that an enzyme catalyzing β-oxidation of fatty acids, 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase-2 (KAT2/PED1/PKT3) (EC 2.3.1.16), is...
