Abstract: | Seedlings of Ricinus communis L. were cultivated in quartz sandand supplied with media which contained either different concentrationsof nitrate or ammonium nitrogen and were treated with a lowsalt stress. The concentration of ABA was determined in tissuesand in xylem and phloem saps. Between 41 and 51 day after sowing,abscisic acid (ABA) flows between roots and shoots were modelled.Long-distance transport of ABA was not stimulated under conditionsof nitrate deficiency (0.2 mol m3). However, when ammoniumwas given as the only N source (1.0 mol m3), ABA transportin both xylem and phloem was increased significantly. Mild saltstress (40 mol m3 NaCl) increased ABA transport in nitrate-fedplants, but not in ammonium-fed plants. The leaf conductancewas lowered by salt treatment with both nitrogen sources, butit was always lower in ammonium-fed compared to nitrate-fedplants. A negative correlation of leaf conductance to ABA levelsin leaves or flow in xylem was found only in comparison of ammonium-fedto nitrate-fed plants.
