Abscisic acid is a plant hormone also known by the acronym ABA, whose function is growth inhibition and stomatal closure. We can also attribute to abscisic acid the function of delaying seed germination in the process known as vegetable dormancy. Usually the accumulation of this hormone happens at the beginning of the development of some seeds and is related to delayed germination.
Abscisic acid induces seed dormancy, but decreasing levels of this hormone release seeds from dormancy.
When red blood cells are in a higher concentrated solution, water flows out of the cells faster than it comes in. This results in crenation or shrivelling of the cell.
