results show that de novo biosynthesis of abscisic acid, via up-regulation of the rate-limiting NCED3 gene, can be triggered by changes in leaf turgor; AHK1 does not function as the critical turgor-sensing receptor
Title: Up-regulation of NCED3 and ABA biosynthesis occur within minutes of a decrease in leaf turgor but AHK1 is not required.

Overexpression of AtSTO1 improved salt tolerance in transgenic poplar.
Title: Overexpression of AtSTO1 leads to improved salt tolerance in Populus tremula???P. alba.

A distal ABA responsive element in AtNCED3 promoter is required for positive feedback regulation of ABA biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.
Title: A distal ABA responsive element in AtNCED3 promoter is required for positive feedback regulation of ABA biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.

An overlapping G-box recognition sequence (50-CACGTG-30) at 22248 base pairs from the transcriptional start site of AtNCED3 is an important cis-acting element in the induction of the dehydration response.
Title: Characterization of the promoter region of an Arabidopsis gene for 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase involved in dehydration-inducible transcription.

NCED5 thus contributes, together with NCED3, to abscisic acid production affecting plant growth and water stress tolerance.
Title: Epoxycarotenoid cleavage by NCED5 fine-tunes ABA accumulation and affects seed dormancy and drought tolerance with other NCED family members.
