Role of abscisic acid in the closure of stomata in some arid zone plant species

Význam kyseliny abscisové při zavírání průduchů nekterých druhů rostlin aridní zóny

  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

Initially closed stomata in isolated leaf epidermal peelings ofCalotropis procera, Prosopis cineraria andTephrosia purpurea, opened when incubated in distilled water in light or in darkness. Water-induced open stomata closed down on incubation in abscisic acid (0.01 ppm) solution within half an hour. Sodium chloride induced the opening of stomatal aperture. NaCl-induced open stomata also completely closed down when incubated in abscisic acid solution, but open again when transferred to NaCl.

Abstract

Uzavřené průduchy isolované listové epidermis se otevíraly při inkubaci v destilované vodě na světle. Vodou indukované otevřené průduchy se uzavíraly při inkubaci v roztoku 0,03 ppm kyseliny abscisové během půl hodiny. Chlorid sodný indukoval otevření průduchu. Takto otevřené průduchy se též zcela uzavřely při inkubaci v roztoku kyseliny abscisové, ale znovu se otevřely po přenesení do roztoku chloridu sodného.
