Compound Class
Natural Product
Primary Use
plant growth regulator

Abscisic acid is a plant hormone involved in key developmental processes such as seed and bud dormancy, organ size control, and stomatal closure. It plays a critical role in helping plants respond to environmental stresses including drought, cold, and salinity.
