Abscisic acid (ABA) is known as the "stress hormone" in plants because it helps them adapt to unfavorable conditions such as drought and extreme temperatures. One of its functions is to inhibit seed germination until conditions such as sufficient water, light, and temperature are met, allowing the plant to grow and survive.
