Twenty-four benzaldehyde O-alkyloximes having a carboxylic moiety at the α-position of the oxime-oxygen were prepared as abscisic acid (ABA) mimics.Their effects on some physiological and biochemical processes of selected plant species were investigated in comparison to those of ABA.The mimics exhibited ABA-like activity by inhibiting germination and α-amylase induction.They also induced stomatal closure coupled with a reduction in transpiration.
