It also has Glutathione which prevents cell damage caused due to stress, exposure to UV rays and pollution
3,50 The pigment consists of polymers of epinephrine metabolites, which accumulate due to defective excretion of organic anions
Additionally, exposure to ROS can lead to modifications that cause genomic DNA mutations, negatively affect protein activity, damage cellular membranes, and eventually leading to cell death
Despite these interventions, the mortality rate remains considerably high (Allinson et al., 2023
Understanding how ABA dynamically coordinates multiple defense pathways will enable the engineering of stress-resilient cultivars capable of maintaining productivity and stability under increasingly variable environmental conditions
