Abstract
Growth of wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Mehran-89), in hyd roponic culture, was affected by abscisic acid (ABA). Using salinity stress and exogenous ABA application (10(-6) M) to enhance endogenous ABA level, the growth of roots was more suppressed than the growth of shoots. On the other hand, norflurazon, which inhibits ABA biosynthesi s, reduced only the growth of shoots.
