Isolated epidermal strips of Commelina communis L. showed progressively smaller stomatal openings when incubated in abscisic acid solutions ranging in concentration from I0 -s to 10 -4 M. The effects were reproducible and did not appear to be affected by the presence of auxin, gibberellic acid or ki
Abs&act -Abscisic acid methyl ester (1) is reduced smoothly at controlled potential at a mercury cathode in a 2 F mol-' reaction which gives the bicyclic ester (5) in good yield. Cyclic voltammetry of (1). and several related model compounds, reveals that the C-6 hydroxyl group precludes conjugation
