The ubiquity of the apo-carotenoid abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthetic pathway elucidated in water-stressed, etiolated leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris (see A.D. Parry and R. Horgan, 1991, Physiol. Plant. 82, 320-326), has been difficult to establish. Light-grown leaves contain very high carotenoid: ABA
The pathway of water-stress-induced abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis in etiolated and light-grown leaves has been elucidated (see A.D. Parry and R. Horgan, 1991, Physiol. Plant. 82, 320-326). Roots also have the ability to synthesise ABA in response to stress and it was therefore of interest to
Evidence has been obtained which is consistent with 9'-cis-neoxanthin being a major precursor of abscisic acid (ABA) in higher plants. A mild, rapid procedure was developed for the extraction and analysis of carotenoids from a range of tissues. Once purified the carotenoids were identified from
