چکیده

Abscisic acid is a powerful signaling molecule that accumulates in response to abiotic stress. However, no potential receptors that could perceive this increase in abscisic acid had been identified until recent reports of three abscisic acid binding proteins: the nuclear protein Flowering Time Control Locus A, the chloroplast protein Magnesium Protoporphyrin-IX Chelatase H subunit, and the membrane-associated protein G Protein Coupled Receptor 2. Abscisic acid metabolism also has a new and prominent component with the identification of a beta-glucosidase capable of releasing biologically active abscisic acid from inactive abscisic acid-glucose ester in a stress-inducible manner. These observations refocus our attention on the metabolism underlying abscisic acid accumulation, sites of abscisic acid perception, and delivery of abscisic acid to those sites.

Research Article: Extraction of abscisic acid and gibberellin from Sargassum muticum (Phaeophyceae) and Gracilaria corticata (Rhodophyta) harvested from Persian Gulf

Phytohormones are present in seaweeds but little is known about occurrence and content of them in seaweeds of Persian Gulf. The aim of this study was extraction of abscisic acid and gibberellin in Sargassum muticum and Gracilaria corticata. The seaweeds were collected bimonthly over one year at Bushehr coasts, Persian Gulf, during a range of environmental conditions. We explored new HPLC method...

Transcriptional Response of Structural and Regulatory Genes Involved in Isoprene Biosynthesis and its Relation to Essential Oil Biosynthesis in Response to Salicylic Acid and Abscisic Acid in Mentha piperita L.

Background: In peppermint, precursors for the biosynthesis of monoterpenes are provided by plastidial methyl-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathways. Objective: In order to increase our understanding of terpene metabolism in M. piperita, the effect of salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic acid (ABA) in the modulation of expression pattern of genes involved in essential oil biosynthesis and secretion wa...

Comparative effects of abscisic acid and two Sulfonamide compounds on tomato under drought conditions . Leila Zeinali Yadegari*, Reza Heidari, Jalil Khara

The effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and its two agonists, Sulfacetamide (Sa) and Sulfasalazine (SS) on tolerance of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. Cv. Super chief) under drought stress were studied. Eight-week plants were treated with ABA (25 and 50 mg/L), Sulfacetamide (Sa) (25, 50 and 100 mg/L) and Sulfasalazine (SS) (25, 50 and 100 mg/L). Solutions were sprayed daily and samp...
