Physiological dormancy of freshly-harvested seeds of Stylosanthes humilis w
as partially broken by 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). This AC
C effect was inhibited by abseisic ac id (ABA) in a reversible way, The inh
ibiting effect of ABA on germination of dormant seeds pretreated with ACC w
as significantly larger than the stimulating effect of ACC on seeds pretrea
ted with ABA.
