<b>Nature of Abscisic Acid</b><br>
<span class="maintext">Abscisic acid is a single compound unlike
the auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins. It was called "abscisin
II" originally because it was thought to play a major role
in abscission of fruits. At about the same time another group was
calling it "dormin" because they thought it had a major
role in bud dormancy. The name abscisic acid (ABA) was coined by
a compromise between the two groups. Though ABA generally is thought
to play mostly inhibitory roles, it has many promoting functions
as well(Arteca, 1996; Mauseth, 1991; Raven, 1992; Salisbury and
Ross, 1992). </span><br>

<p><font face="Arial"><b>History of Abscisic Acid</b><br>
<span class="maintext">In 1963, abscisic acid was first identified
and characterized by Frederick Addicott and his associates. They
were studying compounds responsible for the abscission of fruits
(cotton). Two compounds were isolated and called abscisin I and
abscisin II. Abscisin II is presently called abscisic acid (ABA)(Addicot,
1963). Two other groups at about the same time discovered the same
compound. One group headed by Philip Wareing was studying bud dormancy
in woody plants. The other group led by Van Steveninck was studying
abscission of flowers and fruits from lupine. Plant physiologists
agreed to call the compound abscisic acid (Salisbury and Ross, 1992).
<br>
</span> </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><b>Biosynthesis and Metabolism</b><br>
<span class="maintext">ABA is a naturally occurring compound in
plants. It is a sesquiterpenoid (15-carbon) which is partially produced
via the mevalonic pathway in chloroplasts and other plastids. Because
it is sythesized partially in the chloroplasts, it makes sense that
biosynthesis primarily occurs in the leaves. The production of ABA
is accentuated by stresses such as water loss and freezing temperatures.
It is believed that biosynthesis occurs indirectly through the production
of carotenoids. Carotenoids are pigments produced by the chloroplast
which have 40 carbons. Breakdown of these carotenoids occurs by
the following mechanism: <br>
Violaxanthin is a carotenoid which has forty carbons. <br>
It is isomerized and then split via an isomerase reaction followed
by an oxidation reaction. <br>
One molecule of xanthonin is produced from one molecule of violaxanthonin
and it is uncertain what happens to the remaining biproduct. <br>
The one molecule of xanthonin produced is unstable and spontaneously
changed to ABA aldehyde. <br>
Further oxidation results in ABA. <br>
Activation of the molecule can occur by two methods. In the first
method, an ABA-glucose ester can form by attachment of glucose to
ABA. In the second method, oxidation of ABA can occur to form phaseic
acid and dihyhdrophaseic acid. <br>
The transport of ABA can occur in both xylem and phloem tissues.
It can also be translocated through paranchyma cells. The movement
of abscisic acid in plants does not exhibit polarity like auxins.
ABA is capable of moving both up and down the stem (Walton and Li,
1995; Salisbury and Ross). </span><br>

<span class="maintext">The following are some of the phyysiological
responses known to be associated with abscisic acid (Davies, 1995;

of stomata (water stress brings about an increase in ABA synthesis).
