Influences of Certain Plant Factors on the Growth and Fruiting of the Lower Axillary Shoot of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill

L. H. AUNG

Department of Horticulture, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Blacksburg, Virginia, 24061, U.S.A

Received: 12 August 1975    Returned for revision: 6 October 1975   

Excision of the first inflorescence at diffrent stages of development, emasculation of the anthers before anthesis, and excision of 3/4 of the entire root system at transplanting significantly enhahced the growth and fruiting of the axillary shoot located directly below the first inflorescence of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Fireball. Replacement of the inflorescence with a combination of indol-3yl-acetic acid, gibberellin A4/7 and N6-benyladenine at 5 x 10–4 M concentration in lanolin delayed the time for the axillary shoot to attain a length of 20 cm. Enchancement of growth and fruiting of the auxillary shoot below the first inflorenscence was attributed to a greater availability of assimilate.
