CHEMICAL CONTROL OF FLOWERING |
| Authors: | R.M. Sachs, W.P. Hackett |
| Abstract:
We have presented arguments favoring chemical control of flowering through partitioning of assimilates such that critical areas of the shoot apical meristem, perhaps the relatively quiescent central zone receive higher concentrations of assimilates under inductive conditions. This is in effect a statement of the nutrient diversion, or nutritional, hypothesis. We contend that it is difficult to distinguish between this hypothesis and one proposing specific gene activation by specific flowering hormones. | |
