Abstract
The flowering of Sagittaria pygmaea Miq. was promoted by 2,6-diisoprop ylphenoxyacetic acid, as well as by gibberellic acid (GA(3)), Uniconaz ole canceled the promotive effect of the phenoxyacetic acid, while pro hexadione shortened the period required for flowering. Endogenous GAs seem to play an important role in the flowering of S. pygmaea, and 2,6 -diisopropylphenoxyacetic acid might affect GA biosynthesis or metabol ism.
