Hormones and sylleptic branching
Sylleptic branches grow out from buds immediately without overwintering. Although this is relatively rare in temperate woody species, it does occur in economically important hybrid poplar. Cline and Dong-Il (pp. 417-421) present preliminary evidence of a correlation between differences in sensitivity to auxin and cytokinin and the degree of sylleptic branching.
