Key Properties
Abscisic Acid (ABA) is a naturally occurring plant hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes in plants, including seed dormancy, stomatal closure, and response to environmental stress. With a molecular formula of C15H20O4 and a molecular weight of 264.32 g/mol, this compound is classified as a sesquiterpenoid. Abscisic Acid is notable for its ability to induce abscission in plants, hence its alternate names such as Domin and Abscissin II. This product is offered at a purity level of 98%, making it suitable for research and agricultural applications.
Also known as ABA, Domin, Abscissin II.

- Substance
Abscisic Acid appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It has a melting point of approximately 155-157 °C and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. The compound has a density of about 1.2 g/cm³. Its odour is generally described as faintly aromatic, and it has a relatively low volatility with a boiling point of around 360 °C at 760 mmHg. The compound is stable under normal conditions but should be stored away from strong oxidizing agents.
