Abstract
Abstract Observations have been made on the effect of synthetic, (±)‐abscisin II (dormin), alone and in combination with gibberellin, kinetin and indoleacetic acid, on seed germination and seedling growth of two strains of lettuce, cv. Attraktion and cv. Hohlblättriger Butter. (±)‐Abscisin II inhibited seed germination and seedling growth in both strains. The inhibitory effect of abscisin II on seed germination as well as seedling growth was completely overcome by kinetin in both dark and light. Gibberellic acid, on the other hand, proved ineffective in exerting its influence on seed germination in presence of abscisin II but affected subsequent seedling growth as usual. Indoleacetic acid was found to be least potent in reversing abscisin II caused inhibition of seed germination and seedling growtb. It is concluded, that like its effect on certain other naturally occurring inhibitors of seed germination, kinetin can effectively undo the inhibitory effects of abscisin II in these growth processes.
