USE OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS ABSCISIC ACID (ABA) AND CYTOKININ TO REDUCE ABA RELATED PLANT LEAF YELLOWING

摘要

Discloses a method for decreasing abscisic acid (ABA) induced leaf yellowing in a plant comprising applying an effective amount of ABA and a cytokinin to a plant. The cytokinin is an adenine-type cytokinin (i.e. 6-benzylaminopurine ) or a phenylurea-type cytokinin (i.e. N1-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N3-phenylurea).
