This work shows that (1) abscisic acid (ABA) increased the rise in kinase activity in illuminated leaf disks of the non-stressed plant, (2) ABA decreased the disappearance of PEPC-k activity in the dark, (3) two PEPC-k genes expressed in sorghum leaves, PPCK1 and PPCK2, were not up-regulated by the phytohormone and, (4) ABA effects were mimicked by MG132, a powerful inhibitor of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

Plant J. 2007 Sep;51(5):819-39. Epub 2007 Aug 13.

Activation of stress tolerance genes indicates partial overlap between nutrient, stress and abscisic acid (ABA) signals, indicating a common interacting or regulatory mechanism between nutrients, stress and ABA.

Since the accumulation of the mRNAs for Rubisco small subunit (rbcS), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), and SOD peaked after Chl content and P (sat) had reached their maxima, it is speculated that when leaf senescence is initiated, Chl contents decrease first, followed by the degradation of the photosynthetic apparatus and of photosynthesis-related enzymes.
Levels of cytokinins and abscisic acid (ABA) and the expression of senescence-related genes were investigated in two maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars of different senescence type, cv.

In plants, it is implicated in various stress-signalling pathways and is formed in response to wounding, osmotic stress, cold stress, pathogen elicitors, Nod factors, ethylene and abscisic acid.
As an example, the binding of one major PA-binding protein, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), was characterized further.
