What is function of abscisic acid
A
Stops cell division
B
Closes stomata
C
Increases senescence
D
All
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Abscisic acid is a hormone that suppresses the growth of plants. It does so by counteracting the hormones that promote the growth of plants. The other functions of this hormone are maintaining seed dormancy, causing wilting of leaves, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -It has an essential role in multiple physiological processes of plants, such as stomatal closure, cuticular wax accumulation, leaf senescence, bud dormancy, seed germination, osmotic regulation, and growth inhibition among many others.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inhibits the stomatal opening. Act as a signal to reduce shoot growth (under water stress conditions). Promote leaf senescence. Inhibits seed germination and metabolism of the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abscisic acid is the plant hormone, which is responsible for dormancy of seeds and inhibition of seeds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates various aspects of plant physiology, including promoting seed dormancy and adaptive responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. In addition, ABA plays an im-portant role in growth and development under non-stressed conditions.
