Inclusion of IAA in the vase water had little effect on leaf yellowing in cut flowering branches of Alstroemeria pelegrina L. while kinetin delayed leaf yellowing at 10-4 M (continuous treatment), Chlorophyll was effectively retained by 10-7 M gibberellic acid (GA) in the vase water or by a 20 h pulse at 5 degrees C with 10-5/10-4 M GA. After 16 h of 14C-GA3 uptake at 20 degrees C relatively high levels of 14C were found in leaves and low levels in stems and flowers. After this treatment about half of the 14C-GA3 in leaves was metabolized into unknown compounds.
