Abstract

Abstract Gibberellic acid (GA3) induced cell division in subapical meristems of quiescent terminal vegetative buds and brought about bud opening and stem elongation in pistachio (Pistacia vera L.). When the subapical meristems in rachis primordia in lateral inflorescence buds were undergoing cell division, GA3 application enhanced cell division and brought about elongation of the rachis. However, application of GA3 to inflorescence buds when cell division in the subapical meristem of the rachis essentially had terminated, induced cell division in the bases of the buds with subsequent bud abscission.
