Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is directed to methods of improving yield in plants by applying an effective amount of a mixture of abscisic acid and malic acid to the plant. The present invention is further directed to methods of improving growth in plants by applying an effective amount of a mixture of abscisic acid and malic acid to the plant.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of improving yield in a dicotyledonous plant consisting of applying an effective amount of (S)-abscisic acid (ABA) and malic acid to the plant, wherein the weight ratio of ABA to malic acid is from about 3.3:1 to about 1:10, wherein the dicotyledonous plant is subject to drought stress conditions or not stressed conditions. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dicotyledonous plant is selected from the group consisting of lettuce, soybean and cucumber.
