Abstract
Several species of plants were treated with B-naphthoxy-acetic acid solution or as spray. Parts or whole plants were treated. After treatment the new leaves, flowers and fruits appeared modified in size, shape and pattern, and the veins became transparent. In time the plants became normal again. The naphthoxy compounds were particularly effective for inducing parthenocarpy and thereby causing seedless fruit to develop.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
