Abstract

Several selected S. armeria lines differing in their reaction to GA3 were treated with GA3 at various concentrations under short-day (SD) or long-day conditions. With SD treatment one application of GA3 at high concentration (10 000 p.p.m. or greater) induced flower formation in certain lines. Stem elongation increased with GA3 concentration and with plant age and was much greater on flowering plants than on non-flowering ones. [For previous related work see HcA 41, 4400.].
