Abstract. Several characteristics of the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) are critically discussed, more or less directly, in relation to the extension of root cells. A few topics have been selected some biochemical characteristics of ABA (chemical structure, metabolism), inhibiting-β complex, inhibiting regulators from root caps, endogenous ABA in growing roots (ABA gradients, microsurgical experiments, light effects), applied ABA on elongating roots, ABA and indol-3yl acetic acid (IAA) interactions (root growth, proton extrusion, hormone transport, auxin herbicides), ABA effect on the root cell cycle, ABA and drought cells of elongating roots [water deficit conditions, IAA and jasmonic acid (JA) as ‘stress hormones’ other than ABA, gene expression].
