Azalea Flower Bud Development and Dormancy as Influenced by Temperature and Gibberellic Acid1

Year: 1971

Type: article

Abstract: Flower bud development was ascertained by biweekly dissections of shoot apices, until bud color was apparent. Satisfactory results were obtained when plants were given 3 weeks at 2 or 9°C, followed by 3 applications of GA 3 at 250 ppm. The results were less satisfactory when attempts were made to completely substitute GA 3 for the cool temp requirement to break dormancy.
