The initial petiole angle (at t = 0 of the experiment) is compared for plants that received a hormone/inhibitor pretreatment and plants that were not pretreated. Plants were 27-d-old and data are means of four replicate plants (se between brackets). Means with different letters (shown as footnotes) are significantly different (P < 0.05).
