Article Abstract
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates various aspects of plant physiology, growth, and development to maintain a balanced plant water status. Cellular ABA levels are regulated through the combined activities of biosynthesis, catabolism, and transport proteins and depend on the developmental stage, the cell-type and on environmental conditions. Genetically encoded Förster (fluorescence) Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)-based ABA-responsive biosensors enable the direct monitoring of ABA dynamics in intact plants. Thus, ABA biosensor-based in vivo imaging can provide novel insights about the spatiotemporal patterns of biosynthesis- and transport-dependent ABA dynamics that are required for the regulation of seed dormancy and germination, root growth and hydrotropism, and stomatal closure under water limiting conditions. Here, I describe a protocol for the in vivo analysis of ABA in 5-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings (roots) expressing the FRET-based ABA biosensor ABAleonSD1-3L21.

Water deficit stress causes devastating loss of crop yield worldwide. Improving crop drought resistance has become an urgent issue. Here we report that a group of abscisic acid (ABA)/drought stress-induced monocot-specific, intrinsically disordered, and highly proline-rich proteins, REPETITIVE PROLINE-RICH PROTEINS (RePRPs), play pivotal roles in drought resistance in rice seedlings.

Epiphytic orchids have evolved specialized adaptive strategies, such as aerial roots with water-absorbing velamen tissues, to cope with water-scarce and nutrient-deficient habitats. Our previous study revealed that the aerial roots of the epiphytic orchid Phalaenopsis aphrodite lack a gravitropic response, raising the possibility that alternative tropic mechanisms may contribute to their adaptation. In this study, we examined the effects of light and moisture on aerial root growth in P.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a crucial role in disease control by establishing symbiotic relationships with plant roots. AMF improve salinity tolerance in plants by regulating the Na/K ratio through selective ion transport and mediate osmotic regulation by inducing the accumulation of osmotic-compatible solutes such as glycine betaine and proline to enable plant cells to maintain water content and the metabolic balance. AMF can also activate antioxidant defense responses by stimulating enzymes that protect plant cells from harmful oxidation and pathological infections.

is the most widely cultivated high-protein forage crop globally. However, its cultivation in high-latitude and cold regions of China is significantly hindered by low-temperature stress, particularly impacting the root system, the primary functional tissue crucial for winter survival. The physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the root system's adaptation and tolerance to low temperatures remain poorly understood.
