Examination of flower initiation and development of Streptocarpus x hybridus
Abstract
dc:description.abstractEffects of exogenously applied GA<sub>4+7</sub> on floral and vegetative development of <u>Streptocarpus x hybridus</u> were investigated. <u>S. x hybridus</u> 'Hybrid Delta' petiolode tissue from plants treated with 25 μg GA<sub>4+7</sub> were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Plants treated at 1 cm leaf lengths appeared unaffected by GA<sub>4+7</sub> one week after treatment while 2 and 3 cm GA-treated samples showed enhanced floral initiation.
