Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that plays a crucial role in the response to water stress. When a plant is dehydrated or experiencing water stress, ABA is produced in the leaves and is transported to the guard cells, which are responsible for opening and closing the stomata. The presence of ABA signals the guard cells to close the stomata, reducing water loss through transpiration and helping the plant conserve water.
