Abstract

ABA receptor agonists capable of improving plant performance under drought conditions have been described during the last years. However, monocot and eudicot plant species respond differently to various agonists. Here, we provide a detailed methodology to evaluate the anti-transpirant activity of ABA receptor agonists in both monocot and eudicot plant species using infrared imaging and image data analysis. Plant growth conditions, chemical application, and infrared image analysis are explained in detail to evaluate the anti-transpirant activity of ABA receptor agonists in the eudicot model Arabidopsis thaliana and in the C4-monocot model Setaria viridis.
