Effects of CCC and gibberellic acid on the progeny of treated plants

  • Published:
Planta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Plants treated with CCC or GA3 produced seed which on germination showed morphological characteristics similar to those of the treated parents. This response was due to the accumulation of CCC or GA3 in the seeds during maturation.
