Water stress adaptive responses in plants require movement of ABA and AB-aldehyde from vascular to target tissues

Vascular plants rapidly coordinate root and shoot responses to water stress.

Vascular plants rapidly coordinate root and shoot responses to water stress. Abscisic acid (ABA) mediates these adaptations; however, it remains unclear which cells produce ABA, whether ABA synthesis shifts during stress, and whether ABA movement is required for its adaptive…
