Abstract
3-indolebutyric acid (IBA) applied to the midvein of lowbush blueberry leaves stimulated lateral shoot development in what is normally an unbranched stem. IBA was effective when applied as a 2% mixture in either lanolin or water. The site of application and habit of shoot growth were shown to influence the treatment response.
Abstract
Outward diffusion of CO2 from ‘Stevens’ and from native seedling cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) collected in 1971 and held 6 months at 3°C proceeded at the rate of 4.55 and 2.56 μl/cm2-hr, respectively. The rate of movement of O2 into ‘Stevens’ was 2.64 and for a native seedling was 3.28 μl/cm2-hr. For cranberries collected in 1972 and held 1 month at 3°C the respective values for CO2 were 1.48 and 1.53 and for O2 they were 3.09 and 3.65 μl/cm2-hr.
Abstract
Lowbush blueberry plants had greater flower bud formation with more primordial meristems and more advanced floret primordia and lower concentration of anthocyanins in leaves at warmer temperatures than at cooler temperatures.
Abstract
Nectar from flowers of the lowbush blueberry, Vaccinium angustifolium Ait was found to evolve acetaldehyde at a rate of approx 0.047 μg/g nectar/hr and ethyl alcohol, the only other volatile detected, in smaller amounts.
