Abstract
Two phases of radish ontogenesis (I-when the plant had produced 3 –5 nodes and II-when the plant had produced 8 –10 nodes) were established on the basis of axillary, meristem localization. Flowering of the plants in response to GA treatment depends on the phases in which they were treated and on growth correlations in the apical meristem. The results obtained suggest that the reaction ofRaphanus sativus (LDP) to GA treatment is parallel to that ofChenopodium rubrum (SDP), and that the response of radish plants also depends on changes in growth correlations in the shoot apical meristem at the time of treatment.
