Distribution and signaling of the plant hormone abscisic acid. On pages 1338–1349, Rainer Waadt et al. discuss in vivo methods for the investigation of plant hormones. The cover – Figure 3 from the article – shows patterns of abscisic acid distribution (left) and signaling strength (right) in five‐day‐old Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Blue to red coloring indicates high to low abscisic acid concentration or signaling. Images are derived from fluorescence patterns of geneticallyencoded reporters for abscisic acid concentration (ABAleon2.1) and for abscisic acid‐induced gene expression (pRAB18‐GFP). The maps illustrate similar patterns in guard cells and the hypocotyl‐root‐junction.
