From an analysis of the length-time relation for tiller growth in wheat it was concluded that tillers which emerged traced a discontinuous curve, and that the discontinuity marked a critical event in tiller growth. Tiller buds which did not emerge as tillers continued to grow even more slowly, at least until anthesis of the primary shoot. The critical event was identified as that of escape from the cavity in which the bud was tightly contained throughout early development. The timing of vascular differentiation in tiller buds was shown to be size-dependent and there was no evidence for any correlation with the critical event of escape. A strong negative correlation between the lengths of the 3rd tiller buds and their subtending internodes was established, and the presence or absence of the 4th tiller bud was also correlated with its internode length. Current hypotheses relating to apical dominance are reviewed, and it is suggested that the dynamic physical constraints implicit in tiller bud growth add a further complication. It was concluded that hormonal, nutritional and constraint mechanisms need to be integrated as partial mechanisms which interacted at the interfaces between successive levels within apical systems.

A previous investigation of apical dominance in the rhizome of Agropyron repens showed that keeping the rhizome in a high humidity promoted the outgrowth of the lateral buds but strongly inhibited the growth of the rhizome apex. A study of these related responses demonstrated that the inhibition of apical growth was not prevented by excision of the lateral buds and was also induced when only the apex of the rhizome received the high humidity treatment. The necrotic lesions that developed in the arrested apices and the reduction of apical inhibition produced by various Ca treatments indicated that the inhibition of apical growth was caused by Ca deficiency. When the rhizome apex was exposed to low humidity, a localized high-humidity treatment of the lateral buds did not release the buds from apical dominance in low-N rhizomes but strongly promoted bud growth at a higher N level. When growth of the buds was induced at low humidity by increasing the N supply, the increase in bud weight was preceded by an increase in the water content of the bud when expressed on a dry weight basis. These results agree with those of previous investigations and suggest that the interacting effects of N and humidity on the water status of the buds may play a significant role in the mechanism of apical dominance.

Growth of cotyledonary buds in soybean plants is controlled by an interaction between hormones and is dependent on age of the plant and meristematic activity of the buds. Indoleacetic acid (IAA) applied to the cut surface of decapitated 7-day-old plants does not inhibit the growth of buds which are actively undergoing mitosis. Growth is inhibited, however, when IAA is applied in combination with benzyl-adenine(BA) and this inhibitory effect is minimized by gibberellic acid (GA). In 16-day-old plants where mitosis in the buds has ceased IAA alone inhibits bud growth. In both 7- and 16-day-old decapitated plants, application of GA, alone or in combination with BA promotes growth of the buds. Inhibited buds have two peroxidase isoenzymes with pronounced activity. The activity of one of these decreases when the buds are released from dominance. Benzyladenine applied directly to inhibited buds initiates growth in 16-day-old intact plants and this growth is further enhanced when GA is applied 48 h after BA treatment. The enhanced growth by GA is prevented if 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or 5-fluorodeoxyuridine (5-FDU) are applied before but not after the GA treatment. These results indicate that the hormones have a sequential role in releasing buds from apical dominance.

Effects of decapitation and treatment with indoleacetic acid (IAA) were studied in etiolated pea seedlings. The relationship between epicotyl swelling and bud growth inhibition was examined and found to be incomplete: concentrations of IAA which totally inhibit bud growth induce marked epicotyl swelling, but a lower concentration (5 p.p.m.) was shown to induce swelling without affecting bud growth. Swelling is a result of a change in polarity of cell expansion; the time of this change was unaffected by increasing the IAA concentration. Large increases in fresh and dry weight accompany the swelling.In mature (non-swelling) epicotyls treated with IAA, this substance tends to prevent the loss of reducing sugars brought about by decapitation. It is suggested that decapitation and IAA application affect the nutritional status of the epicotyl, and that this effect must be considered in constructing hypotheses dealing with apical dominance.

Localization of the source of the signal(s) controlling correlative inhibition of leafy spurge root buds (underground adventitious shoot buds located on the lateral roots) was studied by sequential removal of various plant organs. It was determined that full correlative inhibition of root buds was lost only after excision of all aerial tissue from the plant, or after excision of all aerial tissue except the stem. If mature leaves or growing axillary buds (or both) were left intact, no growth of root buds was observed. The synthetic auxin, alpha-NAA, prevented release of apical dominance and subsequent outgrowth of stem and crown buds when applied to the cut end of the stem or crown. Exogenous application of NAA to either the stem or the crown had little effect on root bud growth. Application of the auxin transport inhibitor NPA around the base of the crown had no effect on root bud quiescence. These data are not consistent with the previous studies (Weed Sci. 35: 155-159 (1987)) that indicate a role for auxin in maintenance of correlative inhibition of root bud growth in leafy spurge. The results of auxin transport inhibitor studies presented here suggest that correlative inhibition of root bud growth does not rely on the classic polar auxin transport system.Nomenclature: leafy spurge, Euphorbia esula L. #3 EPHES; NAA, naphthalene acetic acid; NPA, N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid; TIBA, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid.Key words: root buds, apical dominance, auxin, NPA.

When seedlings of Phaseolus vulgaris were grown under controlled conditions at a light intensity of 3200 ft-c, 60% relative humidity, and at nitrogen levels of 5.25, 52.5, and 210 ppm, growth of the buds at the cotyledonary node, which served as a measure of apical dominance, showed a positive correlation with the nitrogen supply and with the soluble nitrogen content of the hypocotyl. Increasing the nitrogen supply to 420 ppm caused a proportionate increase in soluble nitrogen content but no additional bud growth response. That the growth response was limited by water supply was shown by growing plants at 420 ppm nitrogen and relative humidities of 30, 60, and 90%. Each reduction in water stress, as measured by leaf relative turgidity, caused a highly significant increase in growth of the cotyledonary buds. Under high nitrogen, low water stress conditions, bud growth was markedly inhibited by reduction of the light intensity from 3200 to 700 ft-c.These results support the concept of nutrient competition as a major factor in the mechanism of apical dominance and also suggest that conflicting reports on the effect of externally applied growth-regulating substances on lateral bud inhibition may be due partly to environmentally induced differences in nutritional status of the experimental plants.
