The transport and accumulation of 32P and [14C] sucrose in decapitated and intact shoot segments of the fern Davallia were studied. The apical buds of intact shoots and the expanding buds of shoots decapitated 4 weeks before application are major sinks for these nutrients. Decapitation results in a shift of 14C accumulation from the apex to the lateral buds within 36 h. This shift can be reversed in shoots decapitated for 12 h by replacing the apex. Increased 14C accumulation into the stump region occurs when decapitated shoot segments are treated with indole-3-acetic acid, and decreased label accumulation into the apical region results when intact shoots are treated with 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid. 相似文献

Summary Either a 0.25% or a 0.007% IAA paste was smeared on the apical cut surface of decapitated pea epicotyls and simultaneously 32P was added to the roots. When subsequently the radioactivity of the apical segment of the epicotyls was measured at different time intervals following the addition of 32P, no significant differences between the effect of 0.25 and 0.007% IAA paste on 32P transport were found. Because the 0.25% IAA paste completely retards the growth of cotylary buds whereas the 0.007% paste supports this growth, it might appear that the effect of 0.25% IAA paste on the transport of nutrient substances plays a decisive role in the apical dominance. More probably 0.25% IAA paste imitates the apical dominance only by means of its toxic effect, which, however, requires a detailed investigation. 相似文献

Decapitation of the pea plant resulted in the growth of all the lateral shoots. The initial growth of all lateral buds was somewhat similar. The differential growth rates developed later on. The pattern of growth of lateral shoots varied with the age of the plant when decapitation was performed. The basal shoots dominated when the plants were decapitated at the 2-leaf stage. At 3-leaf stage decapitation resulted in the dominance of shoot 5. Decapitation at 4-or-more-leaf stage resulted in the eventual dominance of the suhterminal lateral shoot. As a rule P-32 moved to the most actively growing part of the plant, i.e. apex in intact vegetative plant, the growing lateral shoots in a decapitated plant, the elongating subapical parts of the stem and the roots. The various metabolic sinks seemed to compete actively for this nutrient, therefore P-32 accumulation in any particular growing region of the plant was taken as an indicator of nutrient utilization potential of that part. The stem apex of an intact plant seemed to loose its dominance with the increasing age of the plant. The loss of apical dominance was almost complete during the reproductive phase of the plant, during which the upper lateral shoots initiated growth. Their growth, however, was inhibited soon because of competition with the other developing sinks, viz., the flower and the fruit. The amount of soluble carbohydrates in various parts of the pea plant followed essentially the same pattern as did P-32 accumulation. These distribution patterns were apparently correlated with the growth of the plant. 相似文献

Summary The movement of IAA has been investigated in roots of dark-grown seedlings of Zea mays using IAA-I-14C.With 6-mm segments excised 1 mm below the apex of the root it has been shown that: (a) There is a strictly acropetal flux of IAA through the tissues, the amount of IAA found in an apical receiving block increasing almost linearly with increasing transport period up to about 6–7 hours, but thereafter declining for at least a further 18 hours. The onset of this decline appears to be dependent upon the concentration of IAA in the donor block. (b) The amount of IAA recovered in the apical receiving block increases with increasing concentration of IAA in the donor block over the range from 0.1–10 M, with transport periods of both 4 and 9 hours. (c) The radioactivity in the receiving block is confined to the IAA molecule. (d) The orientation of the segment with respect to gravity did not significantly affect the acropetal polar flux of IAA in the tissue.With non-decapitated 7-mm root apices it has been found that the presence of the apex has no effect on the strictly acropetal flux of IAA in the tissues, but that it entirely prevented the emergence of IAA into an apical receiving block. 相似文献

The apex of a 3-leaf pea plant was chilled in cold chambers maintained at 5–7°C. The lateral shoots 1 through 5 grew, and shoot 5 eventually dominated other lateral shoots. The apex when returned to the ambient temperature did not reimpose apical dominance. The growing lateral shoots competed with the stem apex. The apices of 2- and 3-leaf plants were chilled and P-32 distribution in these plants was studied in the entire plant, at various intervals of time. Phosphorus-32 accumulation followed the growth pattern of the plant. The lateral shoots accumulated P-32 activity and very little activity was accumulated by the apex. The dominating shoots 2 and 5 accumulated the maximum amount of activity in 2- and 3-leaf plants, respectively. Labeled-IAA moved basipetally through the stem when applied to the cut stump simulating the apex. By cold treatment the translocation of IAA was influenced more than its absorption. The plant seems to metabolize this compound in the later periods of application. The plant now becomes “insensitive” to auxin and the lateral shoots grow. 相似文献

Response of root system architecture to nutrient availability in soils is an essential way for plants to adapt to soil environments.
Nitrate can affect root development either as a result of changes in the external concentration, or through changes in the
internal nutrient status of the plant. Nevertheless, less is known about the physiological mechanisms. In the present study,
two maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines (478 and Wu312) were used to study a possible role of cytokinin in nitrate-mediated root growth in nutrient
solutions. Root elongation of 478 was more sensitive to high nitrate supply than that of Wu312. Medium high nitrate (5 mM) inhibited root elongation in 478, while, root elongation in Wu312 was only inhibited at high NO

supply (20 mM). Under high nitrate supply, the root elongation zone in 478 became swollen and the site of lateral root elongation was close
towards the root tip. Both of the phenomena are typical of root growth induced by exogenous cytokinin treatments. Correspondingly,
zeatin and zeatin nucleotide (Z + ZR) concentrations were increased at higher nitrate supply in 478, whereas they were constant
in Wu312. Furthermore, exogenous cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) completely reversed the stimulatory effect of low nitrate
on root elongation. Therefore, it is supposed that the inhibitory effect of high concentration of nitrate on root elongation
is, at least in part, mediated by increased cytokinin level in roots. High nitrate supply may have negative influences on
root apex activity by affecting cytokinin metabolism so that root apical dominance is weakened and, therefore, root elongation
is suppressed and lateral roots grow closer to the root apex. Nitrate suppressed lateral root elongation in Wu312 at concentration
higher than 5 mM. In 478, however, this phenomenon was not significant even at 20 mM nitrate. Although exogenous 6-BA (20 nM) could suppress lateral root elongation as well, the inhibitory effect of high NO

The effects of prolonged geo-stimulation and presence of 32P on 3-leaf decapitated pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) seedlings were studied with regard to lateral bud elongation as well as accumulation and recovery of isotope. Prolonged geo-stimulation favoured the dominance of basally located, upwardly directed buds and suppressed the elongation of subapical bud — a gravimorphic response similar to the one shown by intact geo-stimulated branches of woody plants. Basal bud 2 was an exception as it dominated both in the above- and below-axis position. Accumulation of 32P in buds was the result of their own growth, whereas in the other parts of the seedlings accumulation of isotope was not necessarily related to growth. Geo-stimulation affected 32P recovery in redistribution experiments, whereas it had no effect in distribution experiments. In the former, the decrease in the isotope level in the seedling suggests a loss of 32P. Prolonged presence of 32P in the seedlings had a deleterious effect on bud elongation. 相似文献

The paper deals with the general problem of the physiological basis of branching, and the roles of known and unexplored factors in sensitivity to apical dominance. It is shown that when pea seedling shoots are completely or partially inhibited by other shoots on the same plant auxin can promote their elongation, even though it does not have this effect on inhibited buds. This influence of auxin is only exerted on internodal elongation and not on apical growth. When kinetin in a solution of alcohol and carbowax is applied directly to the lateral buds of pea seedlings, it releases them from inhibition by the growing apex. It is shown that the role of alcohol in this solution is to act as a surfactant, permitting good contact with the buds, while that of carbowax, being hygroscopic, is to maintain a thin film of solution over the buds. Buds thus released from apical dominance by kinetin do not elongate as much as do uninhibited control buds. Such kinetin-treated buds can, however, be made to elongate normally by the application of auxin locally to their apices. It is concluded that growing shoots are relatively insensitive to correlative inhibition because they synthesize two types of growth substances, namely, auxin, which antagonizes the inhibitory effect on internodal elongation, and cytokinins, which permit the apex itself to develop. In the discussion it is brought out that many cases of branching, which appear at first to bear little relation to one another, can be understood on the basis of two principles, namely: (1) Any reduction in the growth rate of a dominant apex reduces its inhibitory effect on other apices, and (2) once an apex starts growing it becomes less sensitive to inhibition by other apices These generalizations and the experimental results are tentatively interpreted in terms of an interaction between the syntheses of auxin and of cytoldnin. 相似文献

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Deltapine 15/21) plants were precultured for 19 to 25 days under controlled climatic conditions in nutrient solutions with different levels of Zn. With the onset of visual Zn-deficiency symptoms the pH of the nutrient solution decreased from 6.0 to about 5.0. In contrast, Zn-sufficient plants raised the pH of the nutrient solution to about 7.0. In short-term studies it could be demonstrated that the Zn nutritional status of the plants remarkably influenced the uptake and translocation rates of mineral nutrients. Compared to Zn-sufficient plants, P uptake rate in severely Zn-deficient plants was increased by a factor of 2 to 3, whereas the uptake rates of K, Ca and particularly NO3 decreased. The accumulation of P in the roots of Zn-deficient plants was either not affected or even lower than in Zn-sufficient plants. Thus, Zn deficiency had a specific enhancement effect on root to shoot transport of P. This enhancement effect of Zn deficiency on uptake and transport of P was similar at nutrient solution pH values of 7.0 and 5.8; i.e. it was not the result of acidification of the nutrient solution. After application of 36CI, 86Rb and 32P to plant stems, basipetal transport of 36CI and 86Rb was not affected by the Zn nutritional status of the plants. However, in Zn-deficient plants, only 7.8% of the 32P was translocated basipetally compared to 34% in the Zn-sufficient plants. A resupply of Zn for 19 h to Zn-deficient plants enhanced basipetal 32P transport. The results indicate that a feedback mechanism in the shoots is impaired in Zn-deficient plants which controls the P uptake by roots and especially the P transport from roots to shoots. As a result of this impairment toxic concentrations of P accumulate in the leaves. The mechanism responsible is likely the retranslocation of P in the phloem from shoots to roots. 相似文献

Three-leaf pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. ‘Alaska’) seedlings were oriented horizontally and32P was applied to leaf-2 for 6 h period, at the end of which the distribution of isotopes in the seedlings was determined. It was found that (i) isotope accumulation in the apices of the vertical and horizontal seedlings remained almost the same; (ii) on decapitation almost all the isotopes in the apex diverted to the roots in the vertical seedlings; (iii) among the horizontal seedlings32P was retained in the hanging treated leaf and the rest moved to the roots via shoots; (iv) the dry weight of the hanging treated leaf was slightly greater than the above-axis one; (v) the position of buds on the axis had no effect on the initial32P accumulation in them, however, a trend of greater isotope accumulation was noted in the above-axis basal buds; (vi) geo.stimulation had no effect on the total dry weight of the seedlings; and (vii) in geo-stimulated seedlings decrease in the dry weights of shoots and its concomittant increase in roots was primarily the result of the movement of substances. 相似文献

We examined the effects o long-term hypoxic growth conditions on net uptake and transport of P to shoots of pond Pine (Pinus serotina Michx.), a moderately flood-tolerant southern pine. Seedlings were grown under aerobic orhypoxic solution conditions for 4–5 weeks in continuously flowing solution culture containing 100 μM P. Short – and long-term 32P. experiments were then concluded with intact seedlings to determine rates of 32P influx, efflux and net transport to the shoot. Shoot fresh weight/root fresh weight ratios were significantly higher under hypoxic gorwth conditions, reflecting the larger reduction in root growth than shoot growth, despite extensive aerechyma formation in roots. Estimates for the unidirectional influx of 32P in aerobic and hypoxic seedlings were 1.43 and 3.20 μmol P (gFW root)?1 h?1, respectively. However, 32P accumulation between the two treatments became similar within 8 h, suggesting that efflux was also higer in seedlings from the hypoxic treatment. Indeed in a separate experiment, hypoxic growth conditions increased efflux by over 60%. Transport of 32P to shoots was significantly reduced under hypoxic growth conditions, despite higher root P concentrations and lower shoot P concentrations. After 48 h, 32P accumulation in roots was similar between the two treatments. Yet total accumulation of seedling 32P decrcased by 31% under the hypoxic treatment, largely because of reduced transport of 32p to the shoot. The lower accumulation of 32 by shoots of seedlings in the hypoxic treatment may be the result of a direct inhibition on the transport process in O2-defident tissues, but could also reflect a slower turnover or labeling of the ool available for transport. Indeed, the percentage of total 32P in. roots present in the soluble P. (or transportable form of P) was about 33% lower in seedlings from the hypoxic treatment, probably reflecting increased assimilation into organic compounds as well as chelation with iron. Our results suggest that P transport to the shoots of acclimated seedlings may be more sensitive to hypoxic solution conditions than influx at the root Plasmalemma. 相似文献

In Cordyline terminalis negatively geotropic leafy shoots and positively geotropic rhizomes develop from single axillary buds on either shoots or rhizomes. All axillary buds have similar morphogenetic potential when released from apical dominance. Experiments in which the orientation of the apex is changed, organs removed, or growth regulators applied indicate that after a rhizome is initiated, it is maintained as a rhizome by auxin originating in the leafy shoot. When auxin levels are lowered by changes in the orientation of the axis or shoot removal, the rhizome apex becomes a shoot apex, which appears to be the stable state of the actively growing apex. Benzyl adenine when applied exogenously to the apex or lateral buds has the same effect as lowering the auxin level. Gibberellic acid has no effect on the apex or lateral buds. High levels of exogenous naphthaleneacetic acid cause bud release and development of rhizomes from previously inhibited axillary buds of the shoot. However, it was not possible to convert a shoot apex into a rhizome apex by auxin treatment. It is suggested that the release of buds on the lower side of horizontal branches and of buds directly above a stem girdle is caused by high auxin levels on the lower side or distal to the girdle. The experimental results are discussed in relation to naturally occurring shoot-rhizome dimorphism. 相似文献

The effect of short and long term auxin treatments on the elongation of axillary buds and32P accumulation were studied in 2-leaf decapitated Alaska pea sailings. It was found that (1) auxin delayed the elongation of the lateral buds, (2) none of the auxin concentration applied completely inhibited the elongation of axillary buds, (3) auxin had no retarding effect on the growing buds, (4) strong polarization of 32P occurred in the parts above the treated leaf, when auxin was applied for a short period just after decapitation, (5) long term auxin treatments did not induce any such polarization of 32P to the parts above the treated leaf, (6) the root acted as an alternate accumulating organ for 32P when the apex was removed and the buds were inhibited, and (7) in decapitated plants the growing buds polarized 32P. 相似文献

It has previously been shown that boron (B) deficiency inhibits growth of the plant apex, which consequently results in a relatively weak apical dominance, and a subsequent sprouting of lateral buds. Auxin and cytokinins (CKs) are the two most important phytohormones involved in the regulation of apical dominance. In this study, the possible involvement of these two hormones in B-deficiency-induced changes in apical dominance was investigated by applying B or the synthetic CK CPPU to the shoot apex of pea plants grown in nutrient solution without B supply. Export of IAA out of the shoot apex, as well as the level of IAA, Z/ZR and isopentenyl-adenine/isopentenyl-adenosine (i-Ade/i-Ado) in the shoot apex were assayed. In addition, polar IAA transport capacity was measured in two internodes of different ages using 3H-IAA. In B-deficient plants, both the level of auxin and CKs were reduced, and the export of auxin from the shoot apex was considerably decreased relative to plants well supplied with B. Application of B to the shoot apex restored the endogenous Z/ZR and IAA level to control levels and increased the export of IAA from the shoot apex, as well as the 3H-IAA transport capacity in the newly developed internodes. Further, B application to the shoot apex inhibited lateral bud growth and stimulated lateral root formation, presumably by stimulated polar IAA transport. Applying CPPU to the shoot apex, a treatment that stimulates IAA export under adequate B supply, considerably reduced the endogenous Z/ZR concentration in the shoot apex, but had no stimulatory effect on IAA concentration and transport in B-deficient plants. A similar situation appeared to exist in lateral buds of B-deficient plants as, in contrast to plants well supplied with B, application of CKs to these plants did not stimulate lateral bud growth. In contrast to the changes of Z/ZR levels in the shoot apex, which occurred after application of B or CPPU, the levels of i-Ade/i-Ado stayed more or less constant. These results suggest that there is a complex interaction between B supply and plant hormones, with a B-deficiency-induced inhibition of IAA export from the shoot apex as one of the earliest measurable events. 相似文献

The outgrowth of lateral buds is known to be controlled by theupper shoot tissues, which include the apex, the young leavesand the upper stem. An analysis of the influence of these plantparts on axillary bud elongation in Ipomoea nil was carriedout by various treatments on these specific tissues. A restriction of elongation in the main shoot due to eitherdecapitation or shoot inversion resulted in the release of apicaldominance A non-linear type of compensating growth relationshipwas observed between the 13 cm apical growing region of thestem and the lateral buds. It was determined by decapitation,defoliation and AgNO3 treatments that both the 13 cm stem-growthregion and the young leaves (15 cm in length) had a muchgreater inhibitory influence on the outgrowth of specified lateralbuds than did the stem apex (consisting of the terminal 0.5cm of the shoot). The specified lateral buds which were analyzedfor outgrowth were located a number of nodes below the shootapex. The intervening nodes were debudded. Although the importanceof young leaves in the control of apical dominance has beenpreviously recognized, the most significant result from thepresent study with Ipomoea was the strong influence of the 13cm apical growth region of the stem on the out growth of thelateral buds.

Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi significantly improve plant growth in soils with low phosphorus availability and cause many changes in root morphology, similar to those produced by increased P nutrition, mainly depending on root apex size and activity. The aim of this work was to discriminate between the morphogenetic role of AM fungi and P in leek (Allium porrum L.) by feeding mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal plants with two nutrient solutions containing 3.2 or 96 M P and examining specific parameters related to adventitious root apices (apex size, mitotic cycle, and RNA synthesis). The results showed that AM fungi blocked meristem activity as indicated by the higher percentages of inactive apices and metaphases in the apical meristem of mycorrhizal plants, whereas the high P supply lengthened the mitotic cycle without blocking the apices, resulting in steady, slow root growth. The possible involvement of abscisic acid in the regulation of root apex activity is discussed.Abbreviations ABA

To assess genotypic variability in nutrient supply of shoot branches, the distribution of 32P and 45Ca exported from a source nodal root (24-h uptake period) was measured within a genotype of a large-leaved (Kopu) and a small-leaved (Tahora) cultivar of Trifolium repens. Source-sink relationships of plants were modified by root severance, defoliation, and shade treatments. In control plants of both genotypes distribution of 32P and 45Ca closely followed the pathways that could be predicted from the known phyllotactic constraints on the vascular system. As such there was little allocation of radioisotopes (3.1% and 2.5% of exported 32P and 45Ca, respectively) from the source root to branches on the apposite side of the parent axis (far-side branches). However, genotypic differences in nutrient allocation were apparent, when treatments were imposed to alter intra-plant source-sink relationships. In the large-leaved genotype, the imposed treatments had minor effects on the allocation to far-side branches: whereas, in the small-leaved genotype, root severance and defoliation treatments increased lateral transport to far-side branches to 30% (32P) and 10% (45Ca) of exported radioisotopes. Genotypes with low (8–9) and high (12–13) numbers of vascular bundles were selected from within the large-leaved cultivar. Distribution of 32P was then measured after plants had been pre-treated by removal of all far-side roots two days prior to labelling. Genotypes with low vascular bundle number allocated 20% and those with high vascular bundle number 3.2% of exported 32P to far-side branches. It was concluded (1) that genotypic variation exists within T. repens for potential to alter intra-plant allocation of mineral nutrients, in response to treatments that modify source-sink relationships within plants; and (2) that this variation is correlated with differences among genotypes in the organisation of the vasculature of their stolons. 相似文献

In the present study, we examined the effects of long- and short-term hypoxia on net uptake and transport of phosphorus to shoots of pond pine (Pinus serotina Michx.), a moderately flood-tolerant southern pine, and the influence aerenchyma formation might have in maintenance of P uptake and transport. Seedlings were grown under aerobic (250 μM O2) or hypoxic (≤50 μM O2) solution conditions for 5.3 weeks in continuously flowing solution culture containing 100 μM P. Intact seedlings were then labeled with 32P for up to 24 h to determine how short- and long-term hypoxic solution conditions affected rates of unidirectional influx and the accumulation of 32P in roots and shoots. Seedlings in the long-term hypoxic treatment were grown for 5.3 weeks in hypoxic solution and also labeled in hypoxic uptake solution. The short-term hypoxic treatments included a 24-h hypoxic pretreatment followed by time in labeled hypoxic uptake solution for seedlings grown under aerobic or hypoxic conditions; in the latter case, diffusion of atmospheric O2 entry into stem and root collar lenticels was blocked, thus removing any influence that aerenchyma formation might have had on enhancing O2 concentrations of root tissue. Although unidirectional influx rates of 32P in roots of seedlings grown under long-term hypoxic conditions were 1.4 times those of aerobically grown seedlings, accumulation of 32P in roots was similar after 24 h in labeled uptake solution. These results suggest that 32P efflux was also higher under hypoxic conditions. Higher shoot/root fresh weight ratios and lower shoot P concentrations in seedlings grown under hypoxic solution conditions suggest that the “shoot P demand” per unit root should be high. Yet accumulation of 32P in shoots was reduced by 50% after 24 h in hypoxic uptake solution. Both short-term hypoxic treatments decreased accumulation of 32P in roots by more than 50%. Short-term hypoxia decreased shoot accumulation in seedlings grown under aerobic and hypoxic conditions by 84 and 50%. respectively. Short- and long-term hypoxic conditions increased the percentage of root 32P in the nucleic acid and chelated-P pools, resulting in a significantly smaller percentage of 32P in the soluble inorganic phosphate (pi) pool, the pool available for transport to the shoot. However, a reduction in pool size or in labeling of the pool available for transport cannot fully account for the large reduction in accumulation of 32P in shoots, particularly in the short-term hypoxic treatment of aerobically grown seedlings. Our results suggest that both influx and transport of 32P to shoots of pond pine seedlings are O2-dependent processes, and that the transport of 32P to shoots may be more sensitive to hypoxic solution conditions than influx at the cortical and epidermal plasmalemma, with aerenchyma formation supporting a substantial amount of both 32P uptake and transport. 相似文献

In mulberry ( Morus alba L. cv. Shin-ichinose), shoot-tip abscission following the cessation of apical growth could be induced in different internodes, depending on the vigour of the shoot and its apex and other internal and external factors. In the lateral, short shoots of 1-year-old stems of low-pruned trees, the apical growth cessation and shoot-tip abscission (May–June) resulted primarily from the dominance of the upper, long shoots and intense competition among laterals along the stem. Decapitation of the laterals, before abortion of their apices took place (early May), readily caused adventitious abscission of the distal internode. Similar decapitation-induced, adventitious abscission of the distal internode of the upper, long shoots of 1-year-old stems of pruned trees also occurred (May–September), demonstrating that the abscission itself is not directly associated with photoperiod. In May and June, decapitation induced abscission primarily in parallel with or after sprouting of lateral buds and shoot elongation, while in July, August and September, the abscission was induced by decapitation and independently of sprouting. Shoot (stem) orientation positively affected the abscission, which is related to gravimorphic effects on buds and shoots on the lower and lateral sides of the horizontally trained stem. These results suggest that the vigour of shoots and apices is an important determinant of growth and apex abscission in mulberry. 相似文献

Effects of Abscisic Acid on the Growth Pattern of the Shoot Apical Meristem and on Flowering in Chenopodium rubrum L. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abscisic acid (ABA) at 1 x 104 M or 3 x 104 Mwas applied to the apical buds of Chenopodium rubrum plantsexposed to different photoperiodic treatments and showing differentpatterns of floral differentiation. Stimulation of growth inwidth of the apical meristem of the shoot and/or inhibitionof growth in length was obtained under all photoperiodic treatments.This change of growth pattern was followed by different effectson flowering. In non-induced plants grown under continuous light ABA stimulatedpericlinal divisions in the peripheral zone and the initiationof leaves as well as the growth in width of bud primordia. Inplants induced by two short days reduced growth of the meristemcoincided with ABA application. Longitudinal growth of the meristemwas inhibited in this case and only a temporary stimulationof inflorescence formation took place. In plants induced ata very early stage, ABA exerted a strong inhibitory effect onflowering. A permanent and reproducible stimulatory effect onflowering was obtained in plants induced by three sub-criticalphotoperiodic cycles if ABA was applied to apices released fromapical dominance. In this case formation of lateral organs andinternodes was promoted by ABA and was followed by stimulatedinflorescence formation. Gibberellic acid (GA2) at 1x 104M or 3 x 104 M brought about a similar effect on floweringas ABA, although the primary growth effect was different, i.e.GA2 stimulated longitudinal growth. The effects of ABA and GA2 on floral differentiation have beencompared with earlier results obtained from auxin and kinetinapplications. These growth hormones are believed to regulateflowering by changing cellular growth within the shoot apex.Depending on the actual state of the meristem identical growthresponses may result in different patterns of organogenesisand even in opposite effects on flowering.
