Abstract
Concentrations of abscisic acid (ABA) in xylem sap of peach were determined by gas chromatographic methods throughout one year. A marked increase in levels occurred in autumn coinciding with leaf fall, with winter values (50–60 ng/ml) some 10 times those found during summer. Levels decreased when the first visible signs of bud swell were seen, suggesting a possible relationship with dormancy.
