Product Details
1. Stress responses: ABA levels increase in response to environmental stresses such as drought or soil water deficiency. When water is scarce, ABA produced in the roots and other tissues moves to the leaves and signals stomatal guard cells to close the stomata, thereby reducing water loss through transpiration.
2. Growth regulation: ABA often acts as a growth inhibitor, slowing or halting processes such as cell division in the vascular cambium during cold or stressful conditions.
3. Seed dormancy and germination: ABA plays a key role in inducing and maintaining seed dormancy, helping seeds withstand unfavorable environmental conditions and delaying germination until conditions improve. It does this in part by counteracting the effects of the growth-promoting hormone gibberellin.
ABA also influences other aspects of development, such as bud dormancy and adaptive physiological changes during seasonal transitions. Its biosynthesis and signaling pathways are well characterized in many plant species.
