Abstract
The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) on heat and salt resistance of cucumber seedlings exposed (consecutively or simultaneously) to high temperature and chloride was studied. Exogenous ABA proved to additionally increase the heat and salt resistance after both consecutive and simultaneous exposure of cucumber seedlings to 38∞N and NaCl. The involvement of this hormone in the common (nonspecific) mechanisms increasing plant resistance to the studied environmental factors is concluded.
