| Abstract:
The effects of white, blue, green and red light on the growth and development of shoots and roots of Ficus benjamina cv. Golden King in relation to the presence of 2iP or IAA were investigated. The highest shoot numbers were obtained in red light on the medium with 15 mg.I-1 2iP. Root production occurred in all light treatments with a similar percentage of rooted plants. The number of roots produced per shoot was highest in red light on the medium containing 0.5 mg.1-1 IAA. Leave senescence was inhibited by red light when 2iP was present in the medium. | |
