ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid) was determined after conversion into ethylene by gas chromatography using an activated alumina column and a FID detector (Konik, Barcelona, Spain). ACC was extracted with 80% (v/v) ethanol and assayed by degradation with alkaline hypochlorite in the presence of 5 mM HgCl2 (Casas et al., 1989 ). A preliminary purification step was performed by passing the extract through a Dowex 50W-X8, 50–100 mesh, H+-form resin and later recovered with 0.1 N NH4OH. The conversion efficiency of ACC into ethylene was calculated separately by using a replicate sample containing 2.5 nmol of ACC as an internal standard and used for the correction of data.
Abscisic Acid
ABA is involved in the plant's adaptation to environmental stresses, including drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures.
It acts as a signaling molecule, triggering a cascade of biochemical and molecular events that allow plants to adjust and survive under unfavorable conditions.
Understanding the mechanisms of ABA biosynthesis, signaling, and metabolism is essential for developing strategies to improve crop productivity and resilience.
PubCompare.ai's AI-driven tools can help researchers optimize their ABA experiments by identifying the best protocols from literature, pre-prints, and patents, improving reproducibility and finding the optimal procedures and products for their research.

All fractions were analyzed on an Agilent 1260–6410 Triple Quad LC/MS system (Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) equipped with a ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 column (Agilent Technologies Inc.). The conditions of liquid chromatography are described in Table C in
In this study, 11 tissue samples were collected for tissues specific expression analysis as the previous study [33 (link)]. They were calli (Cal, induced 30 days before subculture), grouting seed (GS, embryo and endosperm at 12–15 days after flowering), root (Rt, 12 day old seedlings), shoot (Sh, 12 day old seedlings), flag leaf (FL, 1 week after heading), sink leaf (SL, unexpanded flag leaves harvested approximately 3 weeks before heading), sink flag leaf sheath (SinkFLS, flag leaf sheaths harvested from plants 1 week before heading), source flag leaf sheath (SourceFLS, flag leaf sheaths harvested from plants 1 week after heading), node (Nd, the first node on the top at panicle stage), internode (InterN, part between the first node and the second node on the top at panicle stage), and panicle (Pan5, panicle grown to the length of 5 cm). Three biological replicates were performed, with samples of each were collected from 15 plants. All the samples were triturated immediately with liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 ℃ before they were used for RNA extraction.
12 days old seedlings were treated with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, 50 μM), 6-benzylamino purine (6BA, 25 μM), abscisic acid (ABA, 100 μM), gibberellic acid (GA, 100 μM), and salicylic acid (SA, 100 μM) by spraying. Samples (leaves) were collected at 0, 1, 3, 6, and 12 h. As to salt, osmotic, and drought treatments, the roots of 12 days old seedlings were rinsed, followed by the immediate immersion in NaCl solution (200 mM), PEG 6000 solution (20%, w/v), and air. Samples (leaves) were also collected at 0, 1, 3, 6, and 12 h. Three biological replicates were produced for every treatment, each of which was collected from 12 seedlings and pooled together. These samples were triturated immediately with liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80 °C for further use. The sugar treatments were also performed similarly with the NaCl, PEG 6000 solutions in salt stress treatments were replaced by 2% sucrose, glucose, and fructose solutions.

Example 6
Ceres cDNA 12723147 encodes an Arabidopsis putative aldo/keto reductase. Ectopic expression of Ceres cDNA 12723147 under the control of the CaMV35S promoter induces the following phenotypes:
-
- Germination on high concentrations of polyethylene glycol (PEG), mannitol and abscissic acid (ABA).
- Continued growth on high concentration of PEG, mannitol and ABA.
Generation and Phenotypic Evaluation of T1 Lines Containing 35S::cDNA 12723147.
Wild-type Arabidopsis Wassilewskija (WS) plants were transformed with a Ti plasmid containing cDNA 12723147 in the sense orientation relative to the CaMV35S constitutive promoter. The Ti plasmid vector used for this construct, CRS338, contains PAT and confers herbicide resistance to transformed plants. Ten independently transformed events were selected and evaluated for their qualitative phenotype in the T1 generation. No positive or negative phenotypes were observed in the T1 plants.
Screens of Superpools on High PEG, Mannitol, and ABA as Surrogate Screens for Drought Tolerance.
Seeds from 13 superpools (1,200 T2 seeds from each superpool) from the CaMV35S or 32449 over-expression lines were tested on 3 drought surrogate screens (high concentrations of PEG, mannitol, and ABA) as described above. T3 seeds were collected from the resistant plants and analyzed for resistance on all three surrogate drought screens.
Once cDNA 12723147 was identified in resistant plants from each of the three surrogate drought screens, the five individual T2 events containing this cDNA (SR01013) were screened on high PEG, mannitol, and ABA to identify events with the resistance phenotype.
Superpools (SP) are referred to as SP1, SP2 and so on. The letter following the hyphen refers to the screen (P=PEG, M=mannitol, and A=ABA) and the number following the letter refers to a number assigned to each plant obtained from that screen on that superpool. For example, SP1-M18 is the 18th plant isolated from a mannitol screen of Superpool 1.
Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of 2 Independent Events Representing 35S::cDNA 12659859 (SR01010) on PEG, Mannitol and ABA
To identify two independent events of 35S::cDNA 12659859 showing PEG, mannitol, and ABA resistance, 36 seedlings from each of two events, SR01013-01 and -02 were screened as previously described. BastaR segregation was assessed to verify that the lines contained a single insert segregating in a 3:1 (R:S) ratio as calculated by a chi-square test (Table 6-1). Both lines (01 and 02) segregated for a single insert in the T2 generation (Table 1)
Lines SR01013-01 and -02 were chosen as the two events because they had a strong and consistent resistance to PEG, mannitol and ABA. The controls were sown the same day and in the same plate as the individual lines. The PEG (Tables 6-2 and 6-3), mannitol (Tables 6-4 and 6-5) and ABA (Tables 6-6 and 6-7) segregation ratios observed for SR01013-01 and -02 are consistent with the presence of single insert as demonstrated by chi-square, similar to what we observed for BastaR resistance (Table 6-1).
The progeny from one resistant T2 plant from each of these two events were tested in the same manner as the T2. Resistance to PEG, mannitol and ABA was also observed in the T3 generation. Taken together, the segregation of resistant seedlings containing cDNA 12723147 from two events on all three drought surrogate screens and the inheritance of this resistance in a subsequent generation, provide strong evidence that cDNA 12723147 when over-expressed can provide tolerance to drought.
