Figure 6

Simplified pathway of abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis and signaling in plants, and abundance of ABA profiles in aerial tissues derived from crown buds of glyphosate-treated leafy spurge. (a) ABA is synthesized from C40 carotenoids (e.g., β-carotene) via the oxidative cleavage to produce xanthoxin in the plastids; xanthoxin is converted to ABA-aldehyde and then to ABA in the cytoplasm. Red italic text indicates the genes involved in particular step/s of the pathway. (b) Abundance of ABA, and its metabolites and conjugates (PA, DPA, ABAGE, 7’OH-ABA, neo-PA, t-ABA). Data represent the mean of four biological replicates obtained from lyophilized tissue (DW); vertical bars indicate ± SE of the mean
