Abstract excerpt
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone that alleviates drought stress in many plant species. DNA methylation also plays an important role in plant drought stress tolerance. However, the relationship between ABA and DNA demethylase is unclear. Here, the action mechanism of tomato DEMETER-LIKE protein 2 (DML2) in ABA-mediated drought stress resistance was studied by mutating SlDML2. We found that the mutation of...
