Effect of Abscisic Acid in the Avena Curvature Test

Abstract
D-Abscisic acid (ABA) does not affect the indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-induced curvature in the standard Avena coleoptile test at a dosage level of IAA which gives a linear doseresponse curve, while ABA is inhibitory in the neighborhood of the saturation dosage of IAA. Consequently the need to remove ABA from samples to be subjected to this test for the estimation of auxins is eliminated.
