Key Findings
- Researchers at Nantong University developed a new method to detect the plant hormone ABA directly within plant tissues
- This method uses a special electrochemical system that is highly sensitive, detecting ABA levels as low as 100 picomolar
- The system accurately measured ABA in tomato leaves under high salinity, linking ABA levels to specific genes involved in ABA production
