Abstract excerpt

In an attempt to elucidate the physiological role of ABA in seed dormancy and the adaptive response to dehydration, we isolated an ABA-deficient mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. which germinated in the presence of a gibberellin biosynthetic inhibitor. Genetic analysis showed this mutati...
