Abscisic acid (ABA) levels were determined in both the embryo and remaining grain remnant during development of wheat caryposes under temperature conditions which produced either high or low level levels of dormancy in mature grain. Higher levels of grain dormancy were produced in grain from plants in 15.degree.C as compared to 25.degree.C. In grain grown at 15.degree.C, embryonic ABA levels steadily increased during development, reaching a maximum at stage IV, just before grain desiccation. At 25.degree.C, ABA levels were very high at the earliest stages of embryonic development, but dropped rapidly during maturation. Only small cultivar differences in ABA levels were observed during development at either temperature. In general, higher levels of dormancy in mature grain correlated with prolonged elevation of ABA levels during grain maturation.
