The synthesis of Abscissic acid is stimulated by drought, water logging and other adverse environmental condition. Therefore, it is also known as Stress Hormone.

It generally plays an overall inhibitory role, notably during physiological stress. It promotes bud dormancy, seed dormancy and abcission.
When a plant is in stress due to climatic extremities like excess heat or cold or any other reasons, it produces ABA (Abscisic Acid) hormone. This hormone helps the plant to cope with the changing situation and reduces the stress. For this reason, ABA is known as stress hormone.
