Abstract
During progressive stages of drought and subsequent recovery through rewatering, foliage of 2‐year‐old seedlings of Douglas‐fir was sampled for water potential, stomatal resistance, and abscisic acid content (ABA). Simultaneous measurements of soil matric potential were also made. There was a rapid rise in stomatal resistance in the range of 1500–2000 ng ABA g−1 dry weight of foliage corresponding with a plant water potential of –10 to –12 bars. Soil matric potential seemed more closely associated with ABA increase than did plant water potential. After rewatering, seedlings returned to normal ABA levels within 6 days.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
