Summary
The (+)-abscisic acid content of pea shoots has been determined using gas-liquid chromatography. In both tall and dwarf cultivars no significant difference was observed between plants grown in the dark or under red light. Nor was the difference between the tall and dwarf cultivars themselves significant.
