This project investigates how plants perceive water deficits and respond through the hormone abscisic acid (ABA). It focuses on the mechanisms that link soil moisture signals to root growth adaptations, aiming to enhance plant survival under drought conditions.
Despite ABA being the most important phytohormone in the response of plants to drought stress little is known about how waterdeficits are perceived by plants.
Although ABA has been traditionally described as a growth inhibitor, different reportshave shown a role for ABA promoting growth.
Under water stress ABA inhibits shoot growth and maintains root growth inorder to guarantee water uptake.
In fact, roots grow towards zones with higher water contents and this response is calledhydrotropism.
