The Master Molecule: Abscisic Acid and Plant Resilience in Water Stress

Beschreibung

Dive into the fascinating world of plant hormones with "The Master Molecule: Abscisic Acid and Plant Resilience in Water Stress." This book explores the critical role of abscisic acid (ABA), a signaling molecule plants produce in response to drought.Nicknamed the "stress hormone," ABA acts as a plant's internal defense system during water scarcity. You'll learn how ABA helps plants conserve water by regulating processes like stomatal closure, which minimizes water loss through leaves."The Master Molecule" goes beyond just survival. It reveals how ABA strengthens plant resilience, allowing them to adapt and even thrive in dry conditions. The book explores the complex pathways ABA triggers within plants, promoting root growth and the production of protective compounds.This knowledge is especially valuable in our changing climate. By understanding ABA, scientists can develop strategies to breed crops more resistant to drought. "The Master Molecule" sheds light on this vital hormone,offering a glimpse into the remarkable world of plant adaptation.
