Article Abstract

ABA receptor agonists capable of improving plant performance under drought conditions have been described during the last years. However, monocot and eudicot plant species respond differently to various agonists. Here, we provide a detailed methodology to evaluate the anti-transpirant activity of ABA receptor agonists in both monocot and eudicot plant species using infrared imaging and image data analysis. Plant growth conditions, chemical application, and infrared image analysis are explained in detail to evaluate the anti-transpirant activity of ABA receptor agonists in the eudicot model Arabidopsis thaliana and in the C4-monocot model Setaria viridis.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone involved in regulating plant growth and responses to environmental stress. As receptors of ABA, pyrabactin resistance 1 (PYR)/PYR1-like (PYL) proteins play a central role in initiating ABA signal transduction. In this study, a total of 30 genes were identified and classified into three sub-families (PYL I-III) in the pan-genome of 17 species, through phylogenetic analysis.

Abscisic acid (ABA) signaling in stomatal guard cells is crucial for plants to cope with abiotic stress condition. Pyrabactin is a synthetic agonist of ABA that has a selective affinity to limited isoforms of ABA receptors. Here we investigated the differential utilization of downstream signaling events in guard cell ABA signaling under specific receptor isoforms taking advantage of pyrabactin affinity.
