Dormancy of non-cooled Lilium longiflorum Thunb. cv. Ace bulbs was broken with GA3 (1000 ppm), while ABA (500 ppm) partially negated the effect of vernalization on dormancy breaking. Infusion of bulbs with GA3 or ABA had little effect on days to anthesis. Injections of GA3, GA4, or GA7 into shoots from non-cooled bulbs did not substitute for vernalization or affect days to anthesis. ABA injections into shoots from cooled bulbs partially negated the effect of vernalization and delayed anthesis. Injections of GA3 or GA7 into shoots from cooled bulbs decreased days to anthesis, while GA3, GA4 or GA7 increased plant height. ABA delayed anthesis and reduced stem elongation. The major effect of exogenous GA applications appears to stimulate bolting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
