Description

Abscisic Acid CAS NO 14375-45-2 is a key plant hormone (phytohormone) that plays a critical role in regulating plant stress responses and developmental processes. Its primary value lies in its ability to induce stomatal closure and promote dormancy, making it essential for research and development in agriculture and plant biology. This compound is vital for researchers, agrochemical companies, and biotech firms focused on improving crop tolerance to abiotic stresses like drought and salinity, as well as studying seed development and germination.

Application

• Plant Stress Physiology Research: Fundamental studies on plant responses to drought, salinity, and cold stress.
• Seed Dormancy & Germination Studies: Investigation and manipulation of seed development, dormancy induction, and germination timing.
• Agrochemical Formulation R&D: Development of novel plant growth regulators and biostimulants aimed at enhancing crop resilience.
• Plant Tissue Culture: Used in media to control growth and morphogenesis in vitro.
• Horticulture & Floriculture: Potential application to manage growth, senescence, and post-harvest quality of flowers and ornamental plants.
• Molecular Biology: Studying ABA signaling pathways, gene expression, and receptor interactions.
