Plant signaling

Abscisic acid receptor hole-in-one

Nature Chemical Biology volume 10, pages 414–415 (2014)Cite this article

Subjects

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) has a central role in adaptive responses of plants to abiotic stress. A new ABA antagonist offers a promising tool to study ABA signaling and adaptation to abiotic stress in diverse plants, including crops.
