Gibberellic Acid Treatment

Container experiments were conducted in the Dominican Republic to determine the effects of gibberellic acid applications on the `White', `Green', and `Spiny Green' tayota (Sechium edule) Dominican types. Young plants (25 cm in length) of the three types were sprayed with aqueous solutions of gibberellic acid at rates 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 parts per million. A completely randomized design with seven replications was utilized. Plant height and shoot dry weight were determined 30 days after treatment and resulting data was subjected to analysis of variance and regression analysis. Gibberellic acid treatment significantly increased tayota shoot dry weight and stem elongation. Both variables responded with similar patterns to gibberellic acid application. A linear regression (Y = 39.82 + 0.214 X, r2 0.95) described stem elongation as a function of gibberellic acid rates. Results show that gibberellic acid can be effectively used in either tayota type to promote early stem elongation. From a practical standpoint, due to the climbing nature of Sechium edulis, rapid stem elongation could be instrumental in a more rapid establishment of the crop vines in the trellis system, as well as to provide the crop with an advantage on weeds competing for light during the usually critical early growth stages.

Gibberellic Acid Treatment

Field experiments were conducted in the Dominican Republic to determine the effect of gibberellic acid treatments on the elongation of the leading and lateral branches of `Hall' and `Semil-34' avocado (Persea americana) plants. The plant growth regulator was applied as a foliar spray to the leading branch at rates 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 ppm. `Hall' avocado was not responsive to gibberellic acid treatment, whereas `Semil-34' was responsive, with higher rates inducing a more pronounced stem elongation. As an undesirable side effect, gibberellic acid treatment also stimulated the elongation of lateral branches in `Semil-34', making it unsuitable to enhance apical dominance on the leading branch.

Gibberellic Acid Treatment

Flower head orders and the use of GA3 (gibberellic acid) treatment could be two influencing factors determining the bioactive compound levels in artichoke, but little to no information is available about their effects. In this study, we have therefore evaluated the influence of these factors on the hydroxycinnamic acid and luteolin derivative levels in three categories of artichoke: Seed-propagated open-pollinated cultivars; vegetatively propagated cultivars; and seed-propagated hybrids. The hydroxycinnamic acids and luteolin derivatives were quantified by RP-HPLC-DAD. The average flower head weight was the lowest in tertiary heads and GA3-treated artichokes, followed by secondary and main heads. Moreover, the hydroxycinnamic acid and luteolin derivatives levels were significantly higher in tertiary heads than in secondary or main heads. In addition, the GA3 treatment significantly reduced the hydroxycinnamic acid content and, in contrast, improved luteolin derivatives levels. These effects depended on the flower head order and cultivar. Knowledge of the effects of flower head order and GA3 treatment is therefore key in order to achieve the greatest health-benefits from artichoke consumption.

Gibberellic Acid Treatment

Whole buds and excised apices (bud scales removed) from dormant trees of Acer platanoides grow in sterile culture in long days but have different responses to gibberellic acid treatment. Bud growth is stimulated by the hormone in long and short days but apices are unaffected. Abscisic acid inhibits not only gibberellin-stimulated bud growth but also the photoperiodically stimulated growth of apices.

Gibberellic Acid Treatment

SummaryThe effects of post-harvest application of gibberellic acid on dormancy of tubers of Dioscorea alata and D. esculenta were examined. In both species, gibberellic acid extended the dormancy of immature and mature tubers but when GA3 application was made after storage for varying lengths of time, there was a decreasing effect with increased storage time. Dormancy was also reinduced in germinating tubers, that had gone through a normal dormant period, as a result of gibberellic acid treatment. A possible mechanism of dormancy in tropical yams is discussed. It is concluded that use of gibberellic acid as a means of extending the storage life of yam tubers by post-harvest application is a distinct possibility.
