Purpose of this study was to investigate different responses of two wheat genotypes (Triticum aestivum L.) from the wet and dry climate regions to exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application under well-watered and water-stressed conditions. Exogenous ABA was applied to the leaves by spraying and changes in dry matter accumulation and allocation, endogenous ABA content and carbon isotope ratio (δ¹³C) were monitored. The ABA application significantly decreased stem height, total biomass, total leaf area, total grain mass and leaf area/mass ratio, and significantly increased root/aboveground biomass ratio, endogenous ABA content and δ¹³C under well-watered and water-stressed conditions. Compared with the wet climate genotype, the dry climate genotype was more responsive to exogenous ABA application, resulting in lower stem height, total biomass, total leaf area, total grain mass and leaf area/mass ratio, and higher root/aboveground biomass ratio, endogenous ABA content and δ¹³C under all experimental treatments.
