The results of evaluating the laboratory seed germination of endemic Allochrusa gypsophiloides (Turkestan soap root), depending on storage conditions in combination with gibberellic acid treatment (GA3), are presented. In dry storage, control seeds were characterised by a long after-ripening period and a fluctuating germination behaviour upon removal from storage, with a maximum value of 23%. The sensitivity of seeds to GA3 during dry storage varied significantly, with two germination peaks at 5-7 months, and 12 months (37.5 and 50% germination, respectively). Cold stratification and cryo-preservation accelerated seed after-ripening, promoted germination synchronisation and increased seed sensitivity to GA3. The cold stratification of seeds increased germination four months earlier than during dry storage. GA3 increased germination from 16.7 and 18.3% for the control to 37.5 and 45% for seeds cryopreserved for 5 and 12 months, respectively. We recommend cryopreserving Turkestan soap root seeds to avoid viability loss and to then germinate the seeds after pretreatment with GA3.

Flower head orders and the use of GA3 (gibberellic acid) treatment could be two influencing factors determining the bioactive compound levels in artichoke, but little to no information is available about their effects. In this study, we have therefore evaluated the influence of these factors on the hydroxycinnamic acid and luteolin derivative levels in three categories of artichoke: Seed-propagated open-pollinated cultivars; vegetatively propagated cultivars; and seed-propagated hybrids. The hydroxycinnamic acids and luteolin derivatives were quantified by RP-HPLC-DAD. The average flower head weight was the lowest in tertiary heads and GA3-treated artichokes, followed by secondary and main heads. Moreover, the hydroxycinnamic acid and luteolin derivatives levels were significantly higher in tertiary heads than in secondary or main heads. In addition, the GA3 treatment significantly reduced the hydroxycinnamic acid content and, in contrast, improved luteolin derivatives levels. These effects depended on the flower head order and cultivar. Knowledge of the effects of flower head order and GA3 treatment is therefore key in order to achieve the greatest health-benefits from artichoke consumption.

O. juncea plants were grown in a variety of controlled conditions to determine effects of temperature, photoperiod, and gibberellic acid treatment on stem elongation (bolting) and flowering.

Whole buds and excised apices (bud scales removed) from dormant trees of Acer platanoides grow in sterile culture in long days but have different responses to gibberellic acid treatment. Bud growth is stimulated by the hormone in long and short days but apices are unaffected. Abscisic acid inhibits not only gibberellin-stimulated bud growth but also the photoperiodically stimulated growth of apices.

SummaryThe effects of post-harvest application of gibberellic acid on dormancy of tubers of Dioscorea alata and D. esculenta were examined. In both species, gibberellic acid extended the dormancy of immature and mature tubers but when GA3 application was made after storage for varying lengths of time, there was a decreasing effect with increased storage time. Dormancy was also reinduced in germinating tubers, that had gone through a normal dormant period, as a result of gibberellic acid treatment. A possible mechanism of dormancy in tropical yams is discussed. It is concluded that use of gibberellic acid as a means of extending the storage life of yam tubers by post-harvest application is a distinct possibility.
