Mitigation of Drought Stress Damage by Exogenous Application of a Non-Protein Amino Acid γ– Aminobutyric Acid on Perennial Ryegrass (2013, background): “In animals, GABA is well known to function as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system activated through GABA receptors (Bouche and Fromm, 2004).”
Extracellular γ-Aminobutyrate Mediates Communication between Plants and Other Organisms1 (2006, background): “GABA is a ubiquitous four-carbon, nonprotein amino acid that is synthesized from Glu in a reaction catalyzed by the cytosolic enzyme Glu decarboxylase (GAD; Bown and Shelp, 1997; Shelp et al., 1999; Bouché and Fromm, 2004).”
ROS Homeostasis and Plant Salt Tolerance: Plant Nanobiotechnology Updates (2021, background): “Recently, the effect of salt stress on the respiratory metabolism of wheat plants was reported [34].”
Agricultural uses of plant biostimulants (2014, background): “The non-protein amino acids betaaminobutyric acid (BABA) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) increase plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses and are thought to act as endogenous signal molecules (Shelp et al. 1999; Kinnersley and Turano 2000; Bouché and Fromm 2004; Jakab et al. 2005; Zimmerl”
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolism in CO2 treated tomatoes (2010, background): “Multiple roles for GABA have been proposed for plants, including signaling, cell guidance, defense against insects, pH regulation, redox regulation, energy balance, stress responses, and in carbon and nitrogen metabolism (Satya Narayan and Nair, 1990; Kinnersley and Turano, 2000; Bouche et al., 2003”
Comparative Genomics of Plant-Associated Pseudomonas spp.: Insights into Diversity and Inheritance of Traits Involved in Multitrophic Interactions (2012, background): “The non-protein amino acid c-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is secreted in millimolar amounts by plant tissues in response to abiotic and biotic stresses [98].”
Metabolism of γ-aminobutyric acid during cold acclimation and freezing and its relationship to frost tolerance in barley and wheat (2006, background): “2), whereas an a-ketoglutarate dependent GABA-T would recycle GABA directly into new glutamate (Bouché and Fromm, 2004), yielding an autocatalytic process sustaining continuous GAD activity.”
Comparative effects of drought, salt, heavy metal and heat stresses on gamma-aminobutryric acid levels of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) (2009, background): “The enzymes, which compose this pathway, are glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), GABA transaminase (GABA-T) and succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) (Bouche and Fromm 2004).”
Non-protein amino acids: plant, soil and ecosystem interactions (2011, background): “Increased synthesis of GABA is due to stimulation of calmodulin-dependent GAD by elevated H+, Ca2+ or glutamate level in the cytosol (Shelp et al. 1999; Bouché and Fromm 2004).”
The effects of GABA in plants (2019, background): “In addition, it seems to be an important component in the regulation of carbon: nitrogen metabolism (Bouche & Fromm, 2004).”
