Flower Formation in Excised Tobacco Stem Segments; I. Methodology and Effects of Plant Hormones 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The formation of flowers has been studied in stem tissue excised from flowering plants of Nicotiana tabacum variety Wisconsin No. 38, and cultured in vitro on Murashige and Skoog nutrient medium. A procedure for quantitative evaluation of factors influencing floral expression has been developed and effects of the growth substances, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), kinetin and gibberellic acid (GA3), on the process are reported.
