Abstract
Although farnesylation is required for a number of abscisic acid mediated r esponses in plants, knowledge of how this lipid modification of proteins re gulates specific developmental and physiological processes remains unclear. Recent information from the Arabidopsis genome-sequencing project in combi nation with mutants deficient in farnesylation should unravel the role(s) o f this process in plant signaling.
