Application

Abscisic acid (ABA) is an isoprenoid plant hormone (phytohormone) synthesized in all parts of plants and involved in many plant developmental processes. ABA is involved in establishing dormancy and regulation of stress responses. ABA inhibits fruit ripening, seed germination, photosynthesis and kinetin biosynthesis.
