Abscisic acid inhibits light‐induced betacyanin synthesis in Amaranthus caudatus seedlings. Kinetin antagonizes ABA action and restores betacyanin synthesis. Similarly, phenolic compounds also antagonize ABA action and restore the synthesis of betacyanin. When present together phenolic compounds have an additive effect with kinetin in restoring ABA‐inhibited betacyanin synthesis.
