Title: Change of Endogenous Growth Regulators during Storage of Dormant Corms of Spring-flowering Gladiolus
Abstract: Abstract Corms of spring-flowering gladiolus ( Gladiolus ×Tubergenii Hort.) stored at 30 °C sprouted earlier than those stored at 5°. Ethylene production peaked earlier, inhibitor levels decreased, and auxin-like substances increased more rapidly with corms stored at 30°. Cytokinins did not appear in corms stored at either 5° or 30° for 6 weeks, but appeared in corms at sprouting.
