Abstract
Short term inhibitor treatment can be used to examine the processes that occur during an inductive dark period in the short day plant Lemna perpusilla Torr., strain 6746. Several inhibitors of protein biosynthesis are most effective in reducing per cent flowering when treatment occurs over the 2-hour intervals beginning at the 12th hour or the 14th hour of a 8 (16) photoperiodic cycle. The antimetabolite, 5-fluorouracil, is most effective when treatment occurs early in the dark period. Evidence is cited suggesting that distilled water incubation inhibits flowering by interfering with protein biosynthesis.Keywords
