Abstract:

Gibberellins (GAs) are growth hormones strongly involved in a wide variety of physiological activities. Currently, gibberellins are commercially used to enhance phenotypic characteristics, earliness, and productivity of many vegetable and ornamental crops. In this work, the efficacy of supplementation of low levels of gibberellic acid (0, 10 ?8, 10 ?6, and 10 ?4 M GA 3) through the mineral nutrient solution of a floating system on yield and quality of leaf lettuce and rocket plants was tested. The marketability of plants was lost when 10 ?4 M GA 3 was added to the mineral nutrient solution. This study demonstrated that the addition of 10 ?4 M GA 3 exceeded the acceptable threshold for use in hydroponics production systems. Below the concentration of 10 ?4 M, the presence of GA 3 in the mineral nutrient solutions (MNS), especially at 10 ?6 M GA 3, stimulated plant growth and enhanced the yield. Various morphological and physiological traits were enhanced by GA 3 treatments (biomass accumulation, leaf expansion, stomatal conductance, water use efficiency (WUE), Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), etc.), with superimposable trends in both lettuce and rocket. The addition of 10 ?6 M GA 3 to the nutrient solution of a hydroponic floating system can promote growth and quality of lettuce and rocket plants. View Full-Tex
