Abstract: | Previous studies of stomatal behaviour on detached epidermisof Commelina communis L. have suggested that abscisic acid (ABA)and C02 act independently to cause stomatal closure. Evidenceis presented here that if indol-3ylacetic acid (IAA) is addedto the medium used for incubating the epidermis, an interactionbetween ABA and Co2 becomes apparent. Increasing concentrationsof IAA reduce the ability of the stomata to respond to CO2,and ABA appears to antagonize this effect. Recognition of therole of IAA enables us to reconcile earlier conflicting reportsconcerning the interdependence of effects of ABA and Co2on stomata. |
