Abscisic acid (ABA) at optimum concentrations promoted rooting of Phaseolus aureus ROXB. and Lycopersicon esculentum MILL, stem cuttings. In combination with IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) ABA has mostly given additive effects. Synergistic effect of ABA was noted on IBA ({gamma}-indolebutyric acid)-induced rooting of Lycopersicon cuttings. Rooting of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cuttings completely failed when ABA (50 mg/liter) was applied in combination with IBA or NAA ({alpha}-naphthaleneacetic acid). The results suggest that abscisic acid may be an important natural regulator of rooting in cuttings.
