GA3 and GA4, 7 were compared for their role in promoting flower development. Treatments were initiated when microscopic examination showed the flower buds had reached Stage 6 (style elongated and closed). Plants that did not receive a dormancy-breaking treatment failed to reach anthesis. Application of GA3 or GA4, 7 hastened flowering and increased flower size and pedicel length.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE & BIOTECHNOLOGY}, author={NELL, TA and LARSON, RA}, year={1974}, pages={323-+} }
