Popis: Onset of rest, anthocyanin development, and leaf senescence and abscission were delayed in Euonymus alatus Sieb. ‘Compactus’ grown under intermittent mist. Leaf and bud tissues of misted plants contained less extractable abscisic acid (ABA) than did leaves and buds of non-misted plants. Mist leached endogenous and applied ABA from Euonymus leaves. Application of synthetic racemic ABA to growing Euonymus plants hastened onset of rest and increased anthocyanin development. This suggests that the observed responses of Euonymus to intermittent mist may be due to leaching of endogenous ABA.
