| Abstract/Contents: | "The experimental growth retardant WL83801, applied as a root drench, had a rapid and persistent effect in retarding the growth and development of leaves in L. perenne. Leaves of the main shoot were greatly reduced in length, were broader, and appeared faster than in control plants. The rate of extension of individual leaves was greatly reduced in retarded plants but still followed a diurnal pattern that closely corresponded with temperature. There was evidence that leaf extension was far less responsive to temperature in treated plants. At the cellular level WL83801 had no significant effect on leaf blade cell number, thus reductions in leaf length were associated with the retardation of cell elongation. Changes in leaf structure were also observed. These changes in the pattern of leaf growth and development are discussed in relation to the primary mode of action of the growth retardant in interfering with gibberellin biosynthesis." |
