title: Participation of gibberellin in the control of apical dominance in soybean and redwood.
abstract: Loss of apical dominance in soybeans and redwood was increased when the plants were treated with the growth retardant AMO-1618. Simultaneous application of gibberellin reduced the number of elongating buds and promoted growth of the first or second uppermost axillary bud, thus restoring apical dominance. It is concluded that gibberellin participates in the expression of apical dominance.
