Verbatim
e1“The expression of four genes, le4, le16, le20, and le25, which require increased ABA content for expression, was studied in tomato plants”
e2“In unwatered plants, the expression of le4 and le25 correlated with ABA content, and that of le16 and le20 occurred before a detectable increase in leaf ABA content”
Title

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association In unwatered tomato plants, le16 and le20 expression occurred before a detectable increase in leaf ABA content.
- Association Shoots of tomato plants with only half of the roots watered showed no decrease in relative water content.
- Association Shoots of tomato plants with only half of the roots watered showed no increase in ABA content.
- Association In shoots of tomato plants with only half of the roots watered, three of the four genes le4, le16 and le20 were induced.
- Mechanism Genes may also be induced in the tomato shoot by signals from the root.
