Salinity and ABA Seed Responses in Pepper: Expression and Interaction of ABA Core Signaling Components

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in various aspects of plant growth and development, including adaptation to stresses, fruit development and ripening. In seeds, ABA participates through its core signalling components in dormancy instauration, longevity determination, and inhibition of germination in unfavourable environmental conditions such as high soil salinity. Here, we show that seed germination in pepper was delayed but only...
