Abstract: Lilium longiflorum Thunb. cv. Nellie White shoots rapidly emerged and flowered when bulbs were given a 4.5°C/40 day treatment. However, GA levels in the bulbs did not increase during the 4.5°C/40 day cold storage, but increased afterwards in the greenhouse with a GA maximum 30 days past storage. ABA activity patterns were similar to GA. Bulbs first treated at 4.5°C/30 days and then followed by 21°C/30 days had higher GA activity and their shoots were slower to emerge and flower than those of bulbs first treated at 21°C/30 days then given 4.5°C/30 days. Bulbs from 4 harvest dates had greater GA activity in the inner scales while ABA activity was greater in the outer scales.
