“…Abscisic acid (ABA) presence has been reported in chlorophyte and charophyte green algae (Hirsch et al, 1989;Tietz et al, 1986 andMarsalek et al, 1992;Hackenberg & Pandey, 2014;Hori et al, 2014;Stirk et al, 2014;Beilby et al, 2015;Chokshi et al, 2017) and other organisms (Hartung et al, 2010;Lu et al, 2014;Noble et al, 2014). By contrast, we convincingly detected ABA in only a few charophyte strains, in all cases stationary (older) cultures (Figure S2A), but not in any chlorophytes.…”
