Abstract

Shortage of soil water is common in many countries located in monsoon and savana region. This situation limits the plant growth and crop productivity more than any single environmental factor. During soil drying ABA from the root is transported to the leaves causing reduction leaves expansion but increased root growth which can penetrate deeper into the soil for water absorbtion. This adaptive mechanism allowing the plants to survive in drought prone areas.
