RESUMO
This research focused on studying how light and endogenous abscisic acid regulate leaf development in Hippuris vulgaris, a species of heterophyllic aquatic plant. Amounts of photosynthetically active radiation greater than 300 micromoles per square meter per second caused submerged H. vulgaris shoots to produce aerial-type leaves. Abscisic acid was not detected in shoots grown under noninducing light quantities (100 micromoles per square meter per second), but was present at 13.4 nanograms per gram fresh weight in shoot tips after plants were exposed to 1 photoperiod of inducing light (500 micromoles per square meter per second). This supports a role for abscisic acid in the high light-induced heterophylly in H. vulgaris, and provides additional support for the general hypothesis that abscisic acid regulates leaf development in heterophyllic aquatic plants. No relationship was observed here between postphotoperiodic light treatments of various red/far red ratios and heterophylly in H. vulgaris.
