Question

Answer 1

Abscisic Acid is the plant hormone that retards growth of the plant.

Answer 2

Abscisic acid is the plant hormone which slows it's growth.

Explanation:

• Abscisic acid is a plant hormone that responds to abiotic stress by inhibiting growth.
• It prevents seeds from germinating and promotes the creation of storage proteins, causing them to go dormant.
• In the winter, it lowers the stomatal aperture, resulting in decreased water availability and stomatal closure, reducing transpiration.
• ABA also promotes the development of winter buds by mediating the transformation of the apical meristem into a dormant bud.
