Abstract
Tomato and silverbeet shoots that had been fed (±)-[2-14C]abscisic acid (ABA) some days previously did not hydrolyse their alkali-saponifiable [14C]ABA fraction when they wilted. The content of alkali-saponifiable ABA in untreated plants did not fall on wilting so the endogenous conjugate is not hydrolysed either. In tomato and silverbeet, therefore, conjugation of ABA is irreversible.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
