Abstract
Abscisic acid is a phytohormone produced by plants and has various roles in plants growth and development. ABA function in plants is still not well understood, despite of its involvement in abscission. However, ABA has a critical role in reducing a variety of stress reactions. Drought stress is one of the abiotic stress and is defined as a prolonged period of reduced water supply. ABA controls plants response to various conditions such as salinity, low temperature, and drought. It plays a vital role in regulating a variety of processes involved in plant growth, such as floral induction, seed dormancy, embryo maturation, seed germination and root growth. The present research work is carried out to analyse the drought tolerance and leaf chlorosis by the application of ABA on selected three medicinal plant species Talinum paniculatum, Bryophyllum pinnatum and Sauropus androgynus.
