Abstract

Treatment with gibberellic acid (GA3) causes formation of flowers in Panicum ciliaceum and Panicum miliare, two short-day plants, under long days (continuous light), and hastens the emergence of ears in Setaria italica, a quantitative short-day plant, under both inductive and non-inductive photoperiods. The GA3-induced inflorescences, however, remain short and bear only few spikelets; in the two Panicum species, the spikelets also remain sterile.
