Abstract
Dog rose (Rosa canina L.) plants in the bloom stages of flowering were sprayed by indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in concentrations of 0.06 and 0.60 mM and gibberellic acid (GA3) in concentrations of 0.60 and 1.50 mM. Ascorbic acid, total sugar, reducing sugar and carotenoid contents gradually increased, while the protein content remained unchanged and the content of phenolic substances decreased during hypanthium development. Ascorbic acid, total sugar, reducing sugar and carotenoid contents increased in hypanthium sprayed by GA3 and IAA. However, IAA and GA3 applications (except low concentrations) decreased contents of phenolic substances. IAA and GA applications might be a good way to produce the high quality hypanthium in R. canina.
