Rate and time of GA4/7 treatment affect vegetative growth and flowering in a genetic line of Aquilegia hybrida Sims
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aquilegia `Rose-White' flowered from seed in about five months without vernalization. GA4/7 treatment increased stem height, induced earlier flowering, and increased the number of flowers/ plant. Each of these responses, however, was dependent upon both rate (10, 25, or 50 ppm) and timing of application (4-, 8-, or 12-leaf stage). Treatment at the 4-leaf stage resulted in earlier flowering at all rates, had no effect on stem height, but reduced the number of flowers/plant and total leaf area. Treatment at the 8-leaf stage induced earlier flowering at all rates, and increased both the number of flowers/plant and plant height (50 ppm), but had no effect on total leaf area. Treatment at the 12-leaf stage had no effect on time of flowering, but increased the number of flowers/plant, plant height (50 ppm) and total leaf area, at all rates. A rate of 50 ppm at the 8-leaf stage is the optimal treatment resulting in earlier flowering with increased plant height and number of flowers/plant. # 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The aim of this study was to examine how timing of supplemental lighting and different light combinations affect the vegetative and reproductive responses of petunia (Petunia × hybrida Super cascade Blue). This experiment was designed as a factorial based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. After being in the greenhouse for 12 hours, the plants received supplemental ...

Effects of varying the time of stem injection of gibberellin A4/7 (GA4/7) on male and female flowering in potted grafts of Pinus sylvestris L. in a greenhouse were monitored in two consecutive years. Flowering results for each application time were correlated with phenological characteristics and abiotic factors in an attempt to find reproducible indicators of the most effective time of GA4/7 t...

Determinacy growth habit and accelerated flowering traits were selected during or after domestication in common bean. Both processes affect several presumed adaptive traits such as the rate of plant production. There is a close association between flowering initiation and vegetative growth; however, interactions among these two crucial developmental processes and their genetic bases remain unex...

Pot marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) is a medicinal and ornamental plant. The effect of different concentrations of chlormequat (cycocel), and daminozide, two plant growth retardant, on plant height, flowering, the content of essence and some other traits in pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) was assessed. Plant growth retardants are commonly applied to limit stem elongation and produce a ...
