| Application | ABA has traditionally been used as a defoliant because of its role in leaf abcission. It was later found to regulate processes associated with seed maturation and germination. ABA is also involved in stomal movement and helps mediate plant water balance and osmotic stress tolerance. It is one of the key model compounds for studying abiotic stress resistance in plants. |
