Abstract: | The influence of BA, GA3 and IAA applied successively onflower bud formation in shoot apices of Pharbitis nil hasbeen investigated. The shoot apices were isolated from seedlings cultivatedunder non-inductive continuous light and from seedlings exposed to asubinductive (12 h) dark period. BA and GA3 introducedsuccessively into culture medium replaced the inductive night, causing theflowering of plantlets in completely non-inductive continuous light (optimalconcentration of BA – 10–7–10–6mol dm–3, GA3 –10–7–10–6 moldm–3) and stimulated this process under thesubthresholdinduction. These hormones applied in reverse sequence (in the first placeGA3, then BA) did not affect flowering of explants. IAA nullifiedthestimulating effect of BA and GA3. The influence of phytohormones onflowering may result from the change of growth correlations within the shootapical meristem. |
