When abscisic acid is applied to balsam fir, the break of buds in the spring is delayed and the emerging spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana, larvae are forced to feed on old needles, which are a less desirable food. Attempts have been made, rather unsuccessfully, under natural forest situations, to manipulate budbreak with growth retardants for the control of the spruce budworm. However, this system seems to operate under controlled greenhouse conditions, and with some adjustments, it may have potential for practical applications in the field (32).

Among the plant hormones discussed In this Symposium, the growth Inhibitor abscisic acid Is the most recently discovered one. Work In the 1950s and early 1960s by three groups, working on apparently unrelated problems, ultimately resulted In the Isolation and Identification of abscisic acid in each case (see reviews 1, 2, 3, 4) (a) The search for an abscission-... 

Roles of Metabolites of Abscisic Acid. Nothing is known about the physiological role of PA and DPA in plants, although these two metabolites of ABA have been tested in several bioassays recently. In the cotton explant abscission assay PA had one-tenth of the activity of ABA (19). PA and DPA were equally effective in inhibiting a-amylase secretion by barley aleurone layers treated with glbberellin A3 DPA had approximately one-tenth of the activity of ABA in this system (74). The effect of PA on growth of bean embryos was negligible (75). 

Ethylene and ABA. Abscisic acid (ABA), like ethylene, inhibits growth of etiolated seedlings but the seedlings do not show the triple response characteristic of ethylene-treated seedlings (36). ABA-inhibited pea seedlings produce less ethylene than seedlings not treated with ABA in response to high...
