Abstract
The extent of lateral axillary shoot development prior to the first stem bifurcation in several Capsicum species was influenced by the environment, by segregations at numerous loci with minor effects on this character, and by a locus with major effects designated "compact" (ct). Segregation at ct affected developmental processes so that the degree of apical dominance was markedly altered. Gibberellic acid applied to genetically compact plants resulted in a noncompact phenotype lacking axillary shoots Several growth substances resulted in some shoot development on genetically noncompact plants.Keywords
