Abstract

B9 and CCC had no effect on the growth and flowering of GA treated and untreated tannia plants, except for a positive interaction between CCC and GA on axillary leaf system production; reduced cormel initiation in response to CCC; and a delay of nine days in the appearance of the first inflorescence in GA treated plants when the retardants were applied 56 days after planting.
