Plants have evolved several ways to remain dormant until the time is right for growth. For example, seeds maintain dormancy through the antagonistic effects of the phytohormones abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid. Auxin (indole-3-acetic acid [IAA]), in turn, regulates ABA-induced seed dormancy
