Phosphate is often the limiting plant nutrient in soil, and perhaps the evolutionary pressure to conserve phosphate for more critical roles favored plants that made phosphate-free lipids.

Elizabeth Borer and colleagues argued that the ecosystem exploitation hypothesis makes specific predictions about plant and herbivore biomass under certain scenarios: In a community with only plants and herbivores, if nutrients increase, as with fertilization, herbivore biomass should increase, while plant productivity remains unchanged.  n a community with plants, herbivores, and predators, plant biomass should increase with added nutrients, while herbivore biomass should remain unchanged.

ABA synthesized in the roots can also be transported to the shoot via the xylem. The concentration of ABA in the xylem sap of well-watered sunflower plants is between 1.0 and 15.0 nM, the ABA concentration in water stressed sunflower plants increases to as much as 3000 Nm (3.0 μM)
