Abstract Abscisic acid promoted tube elongation, 14CO2 fixation and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity during in vitro germination of Amaryllis vittata Ait. pollen. Other growth regulators tested viz. indol-3yl-acetic acid, gibberellic acid, N6-benzyladenine and ethephon did not affect pollen tube elongation at 1 μg/ml concentration but inhibited it at 10 μg/ml. The case for abscisic acid as a growth promoter is argued.
