ABA is important not only under stress - revealed by the discovery of new ABA transporters

Abstract

Recent reports by Qin et al. and Zhang et al. cast light on long-distance abscisic acid (ABA) transport and demonstrate that ABA has a major impact on plant growth and physiology under both non-stress and stress conditions. Insights into ABA transport may provide a means to modulate the response of plants to climate change.

Keywords: ABA; ABA transport; climate change; long-distance ABA transport.
