Identification of absicisic acid in flower buds of Coffea arabica (L.)

Extracts of flower buds of Coffea arabica (L.) collected before and after bud break contain abscisic acid. This was demonstrated using thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography combined with mass spectroscopy. Abscisic acid accounts for about 75 of the inhibitory activity in the acidid extract. The possible role of abscisic acid in the dormancy of coffe flower buds is discussed
