Abstract: | Lemna paucicostata 441, a short-day plant, flowered even undercontinuous light in nitrogen-deficient, half-strength Hutnersmedium, when the endogenous level of nitrogen was decreasedto 1.4µg/mg fr wt or lower, but no flowering occurredin nitrogen-deficient, modified Hoagland medium when the endogenouslevel of nitrogen was similarly reduced. The failure to flowerin this medium can be ascribed to the presence of high concentrationsof calcium, the absence of EDTA, and low pH. Daylength-independent flowering induced by nitrogen deficiencywas greatly enhanced by the addition to the growth medium ofmicronutrients and EDTA at high concentrations. Among the micronutrients,zinc seemed to be the most important. (Received May 30, 1988; Accepted September 22, 1988) |
