Abstract
According to plant age at induction and rate of initial growth ABA leads either to stimulation or inhibition of growth and flowering in youngChenopodium rubrum plants. This differential effect is linked with the morphogenetic potential of the plants at the time of ABA application. Different modes of germination and cultivation of the plants prior to floral induction affect growth and photoperiodic sensitivity of the plants which may also explain differences in the effect of ABA.
