The authors attribute reduced seed dry weight to lower water content and higher endogenous abscisic acid content.

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Seed dry matter accumulation decreased markedly in abnormal bolls as the season progressed.
- Observation Fibre dry matter accumulation decreased markedly in abnormal bolls as the season progressed.
- Observation Fibre from abnormal bolls showed marked variation in endogenous ABA content.
- Observation Water content in abnormal seeds varied significantly relative to normal bolls.
- Observation Endogenous abscisic acid content in abnormal seeds varied significantly relative to normal bolls.
- Mechanism The authors attribute reduced fibre weight to endogenous abscisic acid accumulation.
