Abstract
Effects of exogenously applied GA4+7 on floral and vegetative development of Streptocarpus x hybridus were investigated. S. x hybridus 'Hybrid Delta' petiolode tissue from plants treated with 25 μg GA4+7 were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Plants treated at 1 cm leaf lengths appeared unaffected by GA4+7 one week after treatment while 2 and 3 cm GA-treated samples showed enhanced floral initiation.
