“The expression of four genes, le4, le16, le20, and le25, which require increased ABA content for expression, was studied in tomato plants”

e4

“Shoots of plants in which only half of the roots were watered showed no decrease in relative water content and no increase in ABA content; however, three of the four genes, le4, le16, and le20, were induced”
