    • Subsequently, a signal transduction cascade involving at least four plant hormones, ethylene, auxin, abscisic acid, and gibberellic acid, is activated.
    • The hormone abscisic acid induces a myriad of cellular responses in plants via complex signal transduction cascades, leading to tolerance towards various stresses, including cold, drought and salinity.
    • When conditions are otherwise in favour of producing the submerged type morphology, an exogenous supply of the plant hormone abscisic acid at an optimal concentration induces aerial type characteristics.
    • Of particular interest here is the amphipathic plant hormone abscisic acid.
