Abstract
Potamogeton nodosus tubers produce floating-type instead of submersed-type leaves when exposed to 10–5 molar synthetic abscisic acid. Abscisic acid-induced leaves have stomata on upper leaf surfaces and higher width/length ratios than controls. These effects are wholly or partially overcome by simultaneous exposure to abscisic acid combined with gibberellic acid, kinetin, or benzyladenine.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
