DOES ABSCISIC ACID INFLUENCE SUGAR RELEASE FROM ATTACHED EMPTY SEED COATS IN AN ABA-DEFICIENT PISUM SATIVUM MUTANT?
Influence of abscisic acid on the release of sucrose from surgically modified Pisum sativum ovules was studied with the use of a wilty pea mutant and variations in the amount of available assimilates. Phloem import was unaffected by applied ABA, independent of the endogenous ABA level and source-limited conditions.
