During mid-1960s, three independent researches reported the purification and chemical characterisation of three different kinds of inhibitors: inhibitor-B, abscission II and dormin. Later all the three were proved to be chemically identical. It was named:
1. Indole-3-acetic acid
2. N6-furfurylamino purine
3. Abscisic acid
4. Gibberellic acid

Abscisic acid:
I: acts as a general plant growth inhibitor and an inhibitor of plant metabolism.
II: inhibits seed germination.
III: stimulates the closure of stomata and increases the tolerance of plants to various kinds of stresses.
