When pea seedlings lose about 5% of their water content the abscisic acid ((+)-ABA) level of the shoots increases ca. 20 times and the level of bound ABA, in all probability ABA-glucose, ca.7-10 times. After watering both ABA and bound ABA contents decrease within 24-48 h to the level in the control
