The effect of tungsten as a potential inhibitor of ABA biosynthesis in plants was tested both under controlled conditions in the greenhouse or laboratory and in the field at a site naturally enriched with tungsten. Although as predicted in all cases the activity of aldehyde oxidase was strongly inhibited by tungsten, in well watered, greenhouse-grown maize plants increased concentrations of tungsten did not reduce ABA concentration in tissues. Depending on the time of incubation, mostly an accumulation due to an increased net ABA synthesis could be observed. Under drought stress, however, tungsten may have an inhibitory effect on ABA accumulation. Field experiments with drought-stressed clover and dandelion plants from a habitat close to a former tungsten mine confirm those of the greenhouse and laboratory. The ineffectiveness of tungsten in decreasing ABA levels in well-watered plants and its minimal effects in inhibiting ABA accumulation of droughted plants indicate that it is unsuitable as an inhibitor of ABA biosynthesis.
