RESUMO

The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) on the exudation process in excised sunflower root was investigated. A promotion of both ion flux and volume exudation rate was observed. Cutting off the external supply of ions to the roots markedly increased the magnitude of the ABA effect. The promotive effect of ABA on exudation rate was extremely rapid (less than 6 minutes) and seemed to be biphasic. Reasons are given for relating the ABA effect to two separate actions, namely: (a) on water permeability; and (b) on the release of ions both from vacuoles to the cytoplasm and from symplasm to the xylem. Kinetin inhibited movement of ions to the xylem and its effect did not appear to be related to that of the ABA.
