Proserpinaca: Photoperiodic and Chemical Differentiation of Leaf Development and Flowering 1

PMCID: PMC1086599  PMID: 16656552

Abstract

Proserpinaca palustris L. produced juvenile leaves on 8-hour photoperiods, adult leaves on 12-hour photoperiods, and adult leaves and flowers on 14-hour photoperiods. Treatment of plants growing on 8- and 14-hour photoperiods with gibberellic acid caused stem elongation and inhibited flowering. The treated plants on 8-hour photoperiods produced adult-like leaves.
