Abstract:Influence of a Plant Growth Regulator on the ‘Sink’ Capacity of Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)
A pot experiment was carried out to examine the effect of the plant growth regulator Triapenthenol (RSW) on the apical dominance of oilseed rape and its corresponding effect on the plant's ‘sink’ capacity. RSW's influence on the number of flower primordia, flowers, pods, yield and yield structure of the whole plant and of different fractions of the plant (main shoot, lateral shoots 1–3, lateral shoots >3; 1st, 2nd … Show more
