Hormone |
Salicylic Acid (SA) Willow trees live often live on river banks and Salicylic Acid is found in their bark suggesting, the trees use high amounts of Salicylic Acid to keep open their stomates and keep their roots relatively dry, pumping up water from them as much as possible. |

What is Salicylic Acid's speculative |
Abscisic Acid (ABA) |
If overall speculative role is true, where, |
Meristematic cells should make Salicylic Acid in keeping with all the stimulating/growth hormones. SA should be made in greater amounts in the roots where more water exists and more SA should be made during the day and growing season. |
If overall speculative role is true, what |
SA should open the stomates. SA should help induce new shoot growth. |
If overall speculative role is true, what |
SA should perhaps stimulate shoot branching and inhibit root branching. SA should perhaps encourage epinasty. SA should open stomates letting some excess water out. SA should promote photosynthesis which incorporates water in its operation. SA should inhibit the effects of ABA. |
If overall speculative role is true, |
SA should increase the water storage of cells. |
If overall speculative role is true, |
SA should be transported from the roots to the shoots. |
If overall speculative role is true, how should |
SA should attract all the growth hormones and repulse the senescence ones. |
If overall speculative role is true, how |
SA should encourage root apical dominance and break shoot apical dominance. |
If overall speculative role is true, how |
SA should encourage cell division. |
If overall speculative role is true, how |
SA should inhibit senescence, particularly shoot senescence. |
If overall speculative role is |
SA should encourage plant part lengthening. ABA it's deficiency partner should encourage cell and tissue broadening where it encourages growth (probably just in the roots). |
