Final answer:
No, that statement is false. Abscisic acid actually promotes seed dormancy and inhibits seed germination.
Step-by-step explanation:
No, that statement is false. Abscisic acid (ABA) actually promotes seed dormancy and inhibits seed germination. ABA plays a crucial role in preventing seeds from germinating in unfavorable conditions, such as drought or extreme temperatures.
It helps to conserve energy and protect the seed until conditions improve. It is only when the levels of ABA decrease and other hormones, such as gibberellins, increase that the seed is released from dormancy and can germinate.
