The Role of Endogenous Abscisic Acid in the Response of Plants to Stress 总被引:11,自引:1,他引:10
When a continuous stream of warm air (38°C) was directedon to the leaves of dwarf bean seedlings they wilted and thengradually regained turgor. This process of adaptation was accompaniedby an increasing abscisic acid (ABA) level in the leaves andan increase in leaf resistance (RL). It is suggested that theleaf-water deficit induced by the warm-air treatment causedthe increase in ABA level and that the latter was responsiblefor stimulating stomatal closure, enabling the plants to regainfull turgor. A similar type of adaptation, brought about byan increased level of ABA in the leaves, is believed to occurin tomato, dwarf bean, and wheat plants when they are flooded.Predictably, in rice, a species adapted to a flooded environment,seedlings showed no increase in ABA level as a result of flooding. It is proposed that adaptation may involve the formation ofan equilibrium between ABA and its conjugate form (i. e. theglucose ester). The ABA-conjugate was observed to disperse slowlyfrom leaves recovering from a water deficit and therefore itmay act as a metabolic back-stop, enabling thefree ABA level to remain high for a period evenwhen the leaves have regained turgor. Abscisic acid appears to be responsible for alleviating theeffects of water stress in plants, making it possible for plantsto pass through periods of stress with little harm. 相似文献
