Using the facultative root hemiparasite Rhinanthus minor and Hordeum vulgare as a host, the flows, depositions, and metabolism of abscisic acid (ABA) within the host, within the parasite, and between host and parasite have been studied. When the plants were supplied with 5 mM NO(3)(-), there were weak or no effects of parasitism on ABA flows, biosynthesis, and ABA degradation in barley. However, ABA deposition was significantly affected in the leaf laminae (3-fold) and in the leaf sheath (2.4-fold), but not in roots. Dramatic changes in ABA flows, metabolism, and deposition on a per plant basis, however, have been observed in Rhinanthus. Biosynthesis in the roots was 12-fold higher after attachment, resulting in 14-fold higher ABA flows in the xylem. A large portion of this ABA was metabolized, a small portion was deposited. Phloem flows of ABA were increased 13-fold after attachment. The concentrations of ABA in tissues and transport fluids were higher in attached Rhinanthus by an order of magnitude than in host tissues and xylem sap. The same tendency was also found in a comparison between single Rhinanthus and unparasitized barley. As compared with 5 mM NO(3)(-), lower NO(3)(-) or 1 mM NH(4)(+) supply doubled the ABA concentrations in barley leaf laminae, while having only small or non-significant effects in the other organs. The possible function of ABA for the parasite is discussed.
