Abstract

C. rubrum plants of different age were treated with methyl jasmonate (JA-Me), in some cases in combination with photoperiodic flower induction. Plants treated with JA-Me (3×10−4, 3×10−5 and 5×10−7M) showed inhibition of growth and flowering. No effect of JA-Me application on ethylene formation was observed.
