Molecular Mechanisms of Abscisic Acid Action in Plants and Its Potential Applications to Human Health
2011-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Drought tolerance actually embodies several protective mechanisms deployed by plants commensurate with the stress severity and duration. Against mild drought, one of the most rapid defensive measures is the closing of the stomatal pore, caused by shrinking of the flanking guard cells, in order to reduce transpiration that accounts for ~90% of the water loss from plants. In contrast, the widening of the pore caused...
