• ABA first identified by "A:8(NG !,@6#• $unalaric acid found in algae and liverworts acts similar to abscissic acid• 3iolo?anthin serves as a precursor for biosynthesis of ABA
• Biosynthesis of ABA also ta4es place through mevalonic acid
• (t is a terpenoids
• Bioassays are - rice seedling growth inhibition test and inhibition of a amylase in barley
endosperm
• Role of ABA:
,1 (nduces bud dormancy and enhances the process of abscission
21 Senescence of leaf is promoted by ABA
F1 Stimulates the release of ethylene
E1 Brings the closure of stomata during water stress

• Au?in increases ethylene level in plants
• Naturally occurring volatile hormone
• 0a?imum ethylene is formed in ripening fruits and senescing tissues
• Biosynthesis of ethylene occurs from methionine which is a sulphur containing amino acid
• (nhibitors of ethylene synthesis are amino-etho?yvinylglcine
• Bioassays for ethylene are triple pea test and pea stem swelling test
• Role of ethylene

%he study of the soil in the field condition with the help of various morphological characteristics is called
Soil 0orphology

modified by 8enny.1
• $aterisation occurs in warm humid tropical conditions whereas od*olisation occurs in the cold
humid temperate conditions1
• (n $aterisation+ Silica !Si&2# is removed from the A hori*on and ses;uio?ides are left out in the A-
hori*on whereas in od*olisation+ ses;uio?ides are leached from the A hori*on and silica is left out
in upper layers1

• "ater held below ,PFrd -atm is called gravitational water and it is drained from the soil due to gravity1
"ater held at tensions beyond ,6- atm is not available to the plants1 ,6 atm represents the wilting point
• "ater in soil moves in response to difference to tension or pressure11
