Immunofluorescent approach uses fluorophore-conjugated antibodies to target molecules of interest for the observation of their distribution and microenvironment at cellular or tissue level. In connection with modern fluorescence microscopy, immunofluorescence has high sensitivity and specificity, resulting in a wide range of applications in animal studies. However, the protocols of immunofluorescence are seldom reported. To this end, we describe an optimized protocol for the detection of plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) in monocot crop species, including maize and rice. By using immunofluorescence technique provided from this protocol, investigation of ABA distribution will continue to deeper our insights in crop developments and stress responses.

Background: Drought stress is a major environmental constraint affecting crop yields. Plants in agricultural and natural environments have developed various mechanisms to cope with drought stress. Identifying genes associated with drought stress tolerance in potato and elucidating their regulatory mechanisms is crucial for the breeding of new potato germplasms.

Cold stress is one of the most serious abiotic stresses that affects the growth and yield in rice. However, the molecular mechanism by which abscisic acid (ABA) regulates plant cold stress tolerance is not yet clear. In this study, we identified a member of the OsNCED (9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase) gene family, OsNCED5, which confers cold stress tolerance in rice.

Forests face an escalating threat from the increasing frequency of extreme drought events driven by climate change. To address this challenge, it is crucial to understand how widely distributed species of economic or ecological importance may respond to drought stress. In this study, we examined the transcriptome of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) to identify key genes and metabolic pathways involved in the species' response to water stress.

Global citrus production has been severely affected by citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) disease, caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Clas), and the development of effective control methods are crucial. This study employed antimicrobial lipopeptide and phytohormone complex powder (L1) prepared from the fermentation broth of the endophytic plant growth promoting bacterium (PGPB) of strain MG-2 to treat Liberibacter asiaticus (Las)-infected ' 'Chun Jian' plants. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and PCR were employed for disease detection.
