Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) is a small family in peach genome.
The GAD gene expression is activated in response to hypoxia.
Exogenous GABA application is able to modify the transcriptional activity of different GADs.
GABA application has no evident effect on Prunus rootstock tolerant to hypoxia.
GABA application transiently improved the plant performance of Mazzard F12/1' under root hypoxia by waterlogging.
