Investigations were undertaken to explore the possibility of improving setting, retention and weight of fruits in ‘Early Seedless’ and ‘Calcuttia’ cultivars of lichi (Litchi chinensis) by means of growth regulators. Indole acetic acid (IAA) at 20, 40 and 80 mg l?1, 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) at 2,4 and 8 mg l?1 and gibberellic acid (GA3) at 50, 100 and 150 mg l?1 were sprayed on panicles in the first fortnight of April, when 50–100% flowers had opened. All 3 growth regulators caused a favourable effect on fruit setting, fruit retention and weight of individual fruits, but IAA at 20 mg l?1 proved the best for enhancing setting, GA3 at 50 mg l?1 for increasing retention and GA3 at 100 mg l?1 for improving fruit weight. IAA and GA3 should, therefore, be used in combination. Between the 2 cultivars tested, ‘Calcuttia’ proved superior to ‘Early Seedless’ in fruit setting, fruit retention and weight of individual fruits.  相似文献

A study on the effect of maleic hydrazide (MH) on vegetative growth, flowering and yield of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria (Mol) Standl.) was conducted during the rainy and summer seasons of 1979 and 1980, respectively. MH at 150 mg l?1 stimulated the elongation of the main shoot, while MH at 50 mg l?1 induced more branches per plant. Staminate flowers appeared late and at the lowest node number in control plants, whereas MH at 150 mg l?1 had a profound effect on the earliest appearance of pistillate flowers at the lowest node number. Male: female ratio was lowered with MH at 50 mg l?1 and was most effective in producing the maximum number of fruits and fruit weight per plant and ultimately the yield. GA3, NAA and ethrel did not influence yield, while MH did.  相似文献

Field grown day-neutral, June-bearing and everbearing strawberry cultivars responded similarly to GA3 in most cases. GA3 stimulated daughter-plant production in ‘Hecker’ (DN) and suppressed it in ‘Guardian’ (June). Fifty mg l?1 GA3 increased initial runner production of all cultivars, while both 50 and 100 mg l?1 GA3 increased fruit yield the year following treatment. In greenhouse studies, GA3 initially increased leaf number, petiole length and runner production, but the effects diminished with time. Phthalimide at 1000 mg l?1 was most effective in increasing leaf number.  相似文献

Qualities of Indian gooseberry fruits (Phyllanthus emblica L.) were determined after dip-treatment with wax emulsion (WE) with or without morphactin (Mor) and gibberellic acid (GA3). Dip-treatments with 100–500 mg l?1 Mor reduced marketability by inducing browning and high weight loss, but loss in ascorbic acid was checked and phenols increased. 10 mg l?1 Mor maintained marketability at par with control, effectively controlled loss in ascorbic acid, and increased acidity and reducing sugars. GA3, although failing to control the loss of ascorbic acid, was effective in checking browning and thereby increased the market value of fruits as compared with controls and Mor-treated fruits.WE with or without Mor (10 mg l?1) controlled browning, accumulation of phenols and losses in weight and moisture as compared with 10 mg l?1 Mor, 100 mg l?1 GA3, or control, but could not retain ascorbic acid in comparison to 10 mg l?1 Mor-treated fruits. Marketability of fruits having had treatment with either WE or GA3 was the same. Fruits having had combined treatment with WE and 10 mg l?1 Mor had maximum marketability. Minimum marketability was observed in fruits subjected to a combined treatment of WE + 100 mg l?1 GA3 due to maximum infection with Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp.  相似文献

‘St. Julien A’ (Prunus instititia L.) rootstock was induced to proliferate shoots on a modified half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Cultures treated with 12.5 mg l?1 gibberellic acid (GA3) produced elongated shoots suitable for rooting. Elongated shoots were placed in media with indolebutyric acid (IBA) or indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) with or without a 16-day dark incubation. Light (16-h photoperiod) inhibited rooting. IAA (4 mg l?1) was ineffective in promoting rooting. Rooting was best when shoots were incubated in the dark with IBA (4 mg l?1). GA3 was deleterious to shoots, causing chlorosis and apical die-back. Light regime interacted with auxin treatments in affecting shoot condition. Shoot condition was better on shoots treated with IBA and dark-incubated; while those treated with IAA were better when light-incubated.  相似文献

Application of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T at concentrations ranging from 5 to 20 mg l?1 to 5-year-old ‘Pant Lemon-1’ (Citrus limon Burm) trees reduced the vegetative growth in terms of height, spread, shoot length, number and size of the leaves in the autumn flush. Various NAA treatments (5–20 mg l?1), however, enhanced growth, but not to the extent that was observed after GA3 treatments. Application of GA3 at 10–40 mg l?1 significantly enhanced all aspects of growth, and the effects were most pronounced at 20 and 40 mg l?1. Nutritional status of the leaves showed a slight variation in relation to vegetative growth under various treatments.Some 2,4-D- and 2,4,5-T-treatments increased the fruit yield over the control, which could suggest mobilization of foods even at the expense of reduced vegetative growth. On the other hand, NAA, particularly at 10 mg l?1, increased both vegetative growth and yield, suggesting that the transport of the photosynthates from the leaves to the fruits was not at the expense of new growth extension. Due to excessive growth enhancement under higher concentrations of GA3 (20 and 40 mg l?1), comparatively fewer nutrients were translocated to the fruit “sinks”, thereby resulting in a non-significant decrease in yield.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Gibberellic acid (GA3) at 25, 50, and 100 mg-L?1 and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at 20, 40, and 80 mg-L?1 were sprayed to runoff on flower panicles of 15-year-old lychee trees one week after panicle emergence. Trees sprayed with water only were used as the control. The number of male flowers was increased quadratically by NAA compared to the control in 2000, and 2001. The number of hermaphrodite flowers functioning as female (HF-F) and the number of hermaphrodite flowers functioning as male (HF-M) was reduced quadratically by all concentrations of NAA both years. The greater the NAA concentration, the greater the reduction. The total number of flowers was also reduced by all NAA concentrations both years. Fruit set (percentage of total HF-F flowers) was reduced quadratically by NAA in 2001, but had no effect in 2000. The number of male flowers was increased quadratically by GA3 both years. Regression analysis also showed a positive relationship between GA3 and HF-F flowers both years. However, hermaphrodite flowers functioning as male (HF-M) was reduced quadratically by GA3 both years. In addition, the total number of flowers and fruit set was increased quadratically by GA3 both years. GA3promotion of male flowers, HF-F production, and increased fruit set may have important bearing on yield improvement.  相似文献

The effect of GA3 15 mg l?1, Planofix (NAA = 1-naphthalene acetic acid) 300 mg l?1 and Ethrel 250 mg l?1 on granulation and fruit quality in ‘Kaula’ mandarin (Citrus recticulata Blanco) was studied during 1975–1976. Three sprays of Planofix reduced the incidence of granulation to 30.7% from 62.7% in control. Three sprays of GA3 were almost equally effective (31.3% granulation). These treatments also improved the fruit quality and gave the highest fruit weight, pulp percentage, juice, T.S.S., reducing and non-reducing sugars and ascorbic acid, and the lowest acidity, peel and rag. In both these treatments (3 sprays of GA3 or Planofix) the T.S.S. was 9.3% (8.1% in control). The application of 3 sprays of Planofix 300 mg l?1 or GA3 15 mg l?1 is, therefore, considered to be successful in reducing the granulation in this cultivar of mandarin.  相似文献

Summary

Beneh (Pistacia mutica F. & M.) and kolkhong (Pistacia khinjuk Stock) are wild species of pistachio which grow naturally with other trees in some parts of Iran. Because of their adaptibility to severe environmental conditions and their resistance to some pests and diseases, they can be used as rootstocks for pistachio cultivars. Poor germination and very low seedling vigour of these two species have been a major problem in using them as rootstocks for pistachio cultivars. In this study gibberellic acid (GA3), at five concentrations (100, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg l21), were used during and after stratification to enhance seedling growth. The results showed that GA3, applied during and after stratification, significantly increased the length, trunk diameter, internode length, leaf area and fresh and dry weight of seedlings of both beneh and kolkhong species. However, application of GA3 after stratification was more effective on seedling growth of beneh. GA3 applied at higher concentrations (500 and 750 mg l21) increased the rate of growth, but growth malformations were clearly evident in seedlings of kolkhong. GA3 at 250 mg l21 enhanced seedlings growth of kolkhong. It was concluded that application of GA3 to the seedlings might be a useful method for promoting rapid shoot growth of beneh and kolkhong and reduce the expense of seedling production in glasshouse conditions.  相似文献

The effects of ethephon or GA3 on sex expression of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima BL.) were opposite to the effects of these plant growth regulators on cucumber, pumpkin and Chinese white-flowered gourd. Ethephon at 100–500 mg 1?1 inhibited the development of female flowers and promoted that of male flowers. GA3 at 50–500 mg 1?1 caused a significantly lower number of male inflorescences, but increased the number of female flowers. Urea applications decreased the number of male inflorescences and increased the number of female flowers. For plants grown on phosphorous-deficient soils, fertilizing with superphosphate also increased the number of female flowers. Spraying trees with GA3, urea or a mixture of both increased the number of female flowers. Therefore, it is proposed that such applications should be employed at the onset of differentiation of flower primordia of Chinese chestnut to increase the ratio of female to male flowers.  相似文献

A single GA3-spray at petal-fall to the entire tree enhanced initial set in the ‘Navelate’ sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), but this effect was transient and in most cases final yield was not increased. When followed by girdling, final yield was increased even in the most productive orchards, this effect being due to an increase in fruit number while fruit size was unaffected. The response was markedly dependent on the GA3 concentration, 5 mg l?1 giving the best results. Higher concentrations up to 20 mg l?1 even reduced yield compared to the untreated control trees. Chlormequat reduced the number of fruits finally cropped without affecting their size, an effect which may be explained through a reduction in the endogenous gibberellin levels.  相似文献

‘Alaska’ and ‘Redwing’ azaleas having dormant flower buds were sprayed with gibberellins (GA3 or GA4 + 7) alone and in combination with thiourea, N6 benzyl adenine (BA) or kinetin weekly for 3 or 4 weeks to test the efficacy of these materials in breaking bud dormancy. Additional plants received 6 weeks of cold storage at 4.5°C or glasshouse day temperatures of 21°C and above. The 2000 and 3000 mg l?1 GA3 and Ga4 + 7 sprays were better than 1000 mg l?1 in promoting flowering, with ‘Redwing’ responding better than ‘Alaska’. GA-treated plants flowered in fewer days than those receiving cold storage. Flower diameter and pedicel length increased with higher levels of GA, and flower uniformity was comparable to cold-stored plants on most GA-treated ‘Redwing’-plants. Thiourea, BA and kinetin applied alone had no effect and considerable cytokinin activity was highest in GA-treated buds 14–21 days after treatment application. No increase in activity occurred on plants not receiving GA.  相似文献

Summary

The in vitro multiplication of Galanthus nivalis ‘Flore Pleno’ bulblet clumps was evaluated through three 16-week sub-culture passages on media supplemented with either 1.0 mg l–1 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 0.1 mg l–1 naphthaleneacetic acid [NAA; the plant growth regulator (PGR) control], 0.5 mg l–1 BA and 0.05 mg l–1 NAA (PGR/2), or 0.1 mg l–1 BA and 0.01 mg l–1 NAA (PGR/10). At the end of the second sub-culture passage, clumps of bulblets from each of the three PGR treatments were also transferred to conditions to promote bulblet growth (G medium without PGRs) supplemented with 60 g l–1 sucrose and 5 g l–1 activated charcoal (AC). Lowering the PGR concentration during the initial multiplication phase reduced bulblet multiplication and overall culture growth, but did not influence bulblet size, as indicated by the diameter of the largest bulblet. Lowering the PGR concentration during the multiplication phase also reduced the multiplication of bulblets, overall tissue fresh weight, and the production of roots in tissues transferred to bulblet growth conditions. The reduced growth of tissues previously multiplied on PGR/10 medium was not, however, reflected in the growth of individual bulblets, since these were not significantly smaller than bulblets initially multiplied at the higher PGR concentrations. Bulblet sprouting and root growth on the bulblet growth medium were unaffected by prior PGR status in the multiplication phase. The results are discussed in terms of the mode of action of AC on the promotion of bulblet growth.  相似文献

Summary

The effects of a post-harvest application of gibberellic acid (GA3) at various concentrations (0, 10, 25, 50, or 100 mg l–1) and for different periods of incubation (1, 2, or 3 h) on the breaking of dormancy and on sprouting in potato (Solanum tuberosum L., cv. Marfona) minitubers of two ages (freshly-harvested or 1 week after harvest) were investigated. Compared with untreated, control minitubers, GA3-treated minitubers showed a significantly shorter period of dormancy (46 d), especially when the minitubers were treated at all concentrations immediately after harvest (41 d). GA3 treatment had a greater effect on dormancy in freshly-harvested minitubers than in 1 week-old minitubers, probably because of the reduced uptake of GA3 solution after skin-set. At lower concentrations of GA3, the period of dormancy tended to decrease the longer the minitubers were immersed in the GA3 solution. In contrast, at higher concentrations of GA3, the duration of immersion only had an effect up to 2 h and any longer immersion was ineffective. The average number of sprouts was not affected by GA3 concentration, or by the time of incubation, but was significantly higher for freshly-harvested minitubers (1.4) than for 1 week-old minitubers (1.2). The lengths of the sprouts increased with an increase in GA3 concentration, especially in freshly-harvested minitubers. Consequently, immersing freshly-harvested potato minitubers in a low concentration of GA3 (up to 25 mg l–1) for up to 3 h effectively shortened the period of dormancy and led to the formation of sprouts of optimum length.  相似文献

N was applied at 50, 100 or 150 mg l?1 in factorial combination with P at 7.5, 15 or 22.5 mg l?1 to asparagus seedlings. There were 6 successional harvests. N and P increased shoot dry weight by increasing mean dry weight and number of shoots. Increasing P had no effect on shoot growth at 50 mg l?1 N. N increased root dry weight (crown and roots) by increasing root number, whereas P decreased root dry weight due to a decrease in mean root dry weight. N increased total plant dry weight, but P had no effect. N and P increased the partitioning of dry weight to the shoots, while partitioning to the roots increased with time. Plant analysis revealed that 2.6–2.7% N and 0.29–0.36% P, on a dry-weight basis, were present in the shoots at the later harvests with the higher concentrations of N and P. 100–150 mg 1?1 N in combination with 15 mg l?1 P produced a seedling suitable for transplanting into commercial fields at 6 weeks from emergence.  相似文献

In attempts to reduce the glasshouse period of fully-cooled 5°C-forced tulips, ‘Apeldoorn’ bulbs were soaked before planting in aerated and non-aerated gibberellic acid (GA3) solutions for 2–48 h. A 48-h treatment with 250–500 mg l?1 GA3 was the most effective, giving a glasshouse period 7–11 days shorter than for untreated bulbs. Soaks for 24 and 48 h caused root emergence, and 48-h soaks caused perianth segment splitting in one experiment. Aerated or non-aerated GA3 solutions gave similar results. Soaking in water alone gave a smaller increase in earliness. In general, a shortened glasshouse period was associated with shorter whole stem and last internode lengths. In GA3 treatments, flower losses were lower than for distilled water treated and untreated bulbs. A practical treatment would be a non-aerated soak for 24 h with between 250 and 500 mg l?1 GA3.  相似文献

Summary

The potency of paclobutrazol, BAS 111, triadimefon and triapenthenol in promoting adventitious root formation and their interactions with gibberellic acid (GA3) were studied by using the mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilcz) rooting bioassay. Isoactive concentrations of the four compounds required for the formation of an average of 50 roots per cutting were 0.09, 0.8, 1.5 and 9 mg l–1, respectively. GA3 applied in combination with each retardant reversed its promoting effect. For the reduction of the number of roots (ca. 50) of cuttings treated with isoactive concentrations of the retardants to that of the untreated control (9–10 roots) the required concentration of GA3 for triadimefon and triapenthenol was twice as high as for paclobutrazol and BAS 111. At high concentrations of GA3 the difference between the number of roots in treatments, with and without paclobutrazol, was fully eliminated, but not when triapenthenol replaced paclobutrazol. Application of paclobutrazol, triadimefon or GA3 to cuttings for 24 h intervals over the first five days of the assay, showed significant changes in their effectiveness, which followed a similar pattern for the three substances. Rooting was increased by the retardants without reduction of the cutting length. The results suggest that the retardants promote rooting by interfering with gibberellin biosynthesis but, in addition, some act by influencing another process or processes.  相似文献

The application of gibberellic acid (GA3) to the whole loquat tree from mid-May to early June and from early August to the onset of flowering, significantly reduced the number of premature flowering shoots per current shoot and per m3 of canopy, and so reduced the total number of panicles per m3 of canopy. The number of vegetative shoots per m3 of canopy was also significantly reduced by applying GA3. The response depended on the concentration applied and produced optimal results at 50 mg l−1. Differences in the number of flowers per panicle and leaves per shoot were not significantly modified by the treatment. Nevertheless, GA3 applied directly to the developing apex near to flower differentiation reduced the number of flowers per panicle by 25–35% and without modifying the morphological characteristics of the panicle. Results suggest that less sprouting of lateral buds was largely responsible for the reduction in flowering intensity caused by GA3. Best treatments reduced thinning costs (60%, approximately) of premature flowering shoots, slightly increased fruit diameter and significantly improved fruit colour and juice quality, thus advancing harvest date.  相似文献

Summary

Different concentrations of aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and gibberellic acid (GA3) and their combinations, applied at two stages of fruit growth, were evaluated for prolonging the marketing season of `Feicheng' peaches. GA3 applied at the end of pit hardening, or AVG applied two weeks before commercial harvest, inhibited fruit maturation on the tree, delayed harvest and reduced flesh browning after cold storage in a concentration-dependent manner. A synergistic effect was found when both GA3 and AVG were used, with the combination of 100 or 150.mg l±1 GA3, applied at the end of pit hardening, and 100 mg l±1 AVG, applied two weeks before harvest giving the best results. These combinations retarded the change in ground colour, loss of firmness, and reduction in acidity by 2±3 weeks. Since harvest was prolonged by 2±3 weeks, soluble solids content (SSC) in fruit increased compared with the control (harvested earlier). Fruit size was significantly greater on treated trees compared with the controls when fruit set was controlled to the same level by hand thinning. After four weeks of storage and 4.d at 208C, 83% of control fruit developed tissue browning, but only 5% of AVG + GA3-treated fruit developed browning after six weeks of storage and 4 d at 208C. Thus, the marketing season of `Feicheng' peaches was prolonged by at least four weeks by 100 or 150 mg l±1 of GA3 and 100 mg l±1 of AVG. Fruit treated with 150 mg l±1 GA3 plus 100 to 150 mg l±1 AVG showed similar results but failed to ripen properly after cold storage.  相似文献

Light triggered the initiation of amaranthin biosynthesis in cotyledons of Amaranthus mangostanus L. seedlings. Cytokinin induced amaranthin synthesis in the dark and increased the accumulation of amaranthin under light irradiation. No studies have explored whether indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) can affect kinetin-induced amaranthin accumulation in seedlings of A. mangostanus L. In this study, we found that IAA inhibited both the kinetin- and light-induced synthesis of amaranthin. In the dark, 10.0 mg l?1 IAA caused a 68% reduction in amaranthin production after induction by 5.0 mg l?1 kinetin. In the presence of light, 10.0 mg l?1 IAA resulted in a 50% decrease in amaranthin synthesis following induction by 5.0 mg l?1 kinetin. In addition, IAA could reverse kinetin-induced amaranthin accumulation under red, blue, or far-red light conditions. Our results suggest that IAA had an antagonistic effect on the light-induced or cytokinin-stimulated accumulation of amaranthin in the cotyledons of A. mangostanus L. seedlings.  相似文献
