Abstract excerpt
Plants accumulate abscisic acid (ABA) under droughted conditions. Genetic variation in the accumulation of ABA in deteched and partially dehydrated leaves of rice has previously been reported, and this was found to be associated with variation in leaf size (smaller leaves made more ABA). Correlation analysis failed to distinguish clearly between a causal relationship between the two traits and close genetic...
