Abstract
The effects of NAA, BA, or Accel on CO 2 assimilation of shoot leaves of mature bearing Redchief `Delicious' and `Empire' apple ( Malus ×domestica Borkh.) trees were evaluated over two seasons. BA at 50 mg·L -1 did not significantly affect any of the gas-exchange parameters measured. NAA (15 mg·L -1 ) consistently suppressed CO 2 assimilation rate (from ≈10% to 24% below that of the control). This suppression was NAA-concentration dependent, continued for >15 days after treatment, and was completely overcome in `Empire', but only partially or not at all in `Delicious' when BA was combined with NAA. These results are discussed in relation to fruit thinning and NAA-induced inhibition of fruit growth in spur-type `Delicious'. Chemical names used: 2-(1-napthyl) acetic acid (NAA); N -(phenyl)-1 H -purine-6-amine (BA); BA + gibberellin A (GA) 4+7 (Accel).
