Abstract
A series of growth room experiments was carried out aiming to establish the role of abscisic acid on dormancy of Salix viminalis L. The inhibitor content and abscisic acid levels of extracts from roots, sap, leaves, and apical tissues of willow were measured using biological assay and gas-liquid chromatography.
No evidence was obtained that photoperiodically mediated dormancy is associated with changes in abscisic acid levels or β-inhibitor activity.
