Effect of auxins on the flowering behaviour of rice


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT IN a recent paper, Hussey and Gregory1 reported that in two experiments out of four carried out, low concentration of auxin increased the number of flower primordia, while high


concentration decreased it in winter barley. These results confirm the findings of Leopold and Thimann2 in winter barley; but in petukus rye the flowering behaviour was not affected by the


auxin treatment. In discussing these results, Hussey and Gregory defined the meaning of flower initiation and promotion of flowering, and expressed the opinion that auxin had no effect on


the initiation of flowering, as auxin injection in an unfavourable photoperiod did not show initiation of flower primordia. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview
