Jack pine (Pinusbanksiana Lamb.) seeds were sown in October, January, and March, and the seedlings were cultured under accelerated growth conditions in a greenhouse. At biweekly intervals, from May 15 to August 15, they were transplanted to a nearby nursery and sprayed with GA4/7 or GA4/7 + NAA. The following spring a fourfold increase in flowering was noted in trees receiving either of the GA4/7 treatments. Trees in the March sowing did not flower. The data suggest that the increased flowering was caused by GA4/7-mediated differentiation of lateral long-branch primordia into ovulate strobili.

The time from emergence of an ovulate strobilus to collection of viable seeds can be reduced to as little as 9 months instead of the usual 16 months spread over two growing seasons. The procedure is called the "shortened reproductive cycle." Two-year-old jack pine (Pinusbanksiana Lamb.) seedlings, grown under accelerated growth conditions, were brought into a greenhouse in the fall, where the environment simulated natural photoperiod and temperature conditions encountered during a growing season, including the approach of fall and winter. Ovulate strobili that subsequently emerged were pollinated and "2nd-year" cones, derived from those strobili, were collected the following September. The yield of filled seeds per cone was low and germination success was variable. The seedlings derived from the shortened reproductive cycle appeared to be normal and produced their own ovulate strobili 14 months after germination. Exposure to the greenhouse environment stimulated pollen production but decreased production of ovulate strobili 1 year after transplanting to the nursery. Flowering during the shortened reproductive cycle procedure was further promoted with gibberellin A4/7 application at the end of terminal shoot elongation in the greenhouse during the winter. Ovulate strobili were observed 6 months later in the nursery.

Some responses of very young jack pine (Pinusbanksiana Lamb.), red pine (Pinusresinosa Ait.), and black locust (Robiniapseudoacacia L.) seedlings grown under constant water stress conditions induced by polyethylene glycol 4000 culture solutions were investigated. Seedlings grown under stressful conditions had lower leaf conductance, produced less foliar surface area, and accumulated less dry weight than nonstressed seedlings. Seedlings grown under nonstressed conditions were found to undergo considerable transpiration at night. When compared with the pines, black locust seedlings grew more rapidly, had lower (more negative) xylem pressure potentials, and showed poorer survival under the more stressful growth conditions.
