Abstract
Several growth-regulating compounds (ethylene chlorohydrin naphthaleneacetic acid, naphthoxyacetic acid, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid, and a mixture of all 4) were tested for their effect on the development of the basal shoots of greenhouse roses. 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid significantly increased the no. of plants developing such shoots. A possible mechanism of action and its relation to light intensity are discussed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
