Abstract
The application of gibberellic acid (GA3) to the non-rosette long-day plant Lemna gibba G3 at concentrations from 0.1 to 100 mg/l did not induce flowering on short days and inhibited flowering on long days at concentrations of 1 mg/l and higher. On both short and long days GA3 concentrations above 1 mg/l caused a decrease in frond size and fresh and dry weight, but an increase in the rate of frond production and thus an increase in the # VF (number of vegetative fronds). Identical results were obtained when gibberellin A7 was used instead of GA3.Keywords
