Abstract
IAA, NAA and ethrel (1 × 10-4M and 3 × 10-4M) was applied to the plumula of Chenopodium plants at different time after the start of photoperiodic treatment and the flowering response was investigated. The inhibitory effect was found with all the applications during the first two days, whereas a stimulatory one on the third and fourth day. We assume this dual effect reflects the differences attained in developmental phase and in the degree of shoot apex differentiation.Keywords
