In an attempt to make a continuous whole year grape production in the subtropical area possible the seasonal changes and the distributions of endogenous free abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) in the young grape shoots of Vitis vinifera×Vitis labrusca var. Kyoho as well as the correlation among the contents of these growth substances, the morphological expres sions of the shoot growth and the outgrowth capabilities of the latent buds borne along the growing shoots have been investigated. In the matter of regulating bud dormancy (or bud activity), the ratio ABA/GA3 seems to play an important role other than auxins, cytokinins and some other correlative inhibition factors discussed by former authors. Free ABA content increases basipetally and GA3 acropetally along the shoot, while the latent buds become succesively dormant from shoot base toward shoot terminal. By means of pruning, ringing or girdling a relatively mature shoot 1 cm above a well differentiated bud with a simultaneous defoliation (1 leaf) possibly result in the outgrowth of the bud The treating position determines whether the bud resumes its outgrowth or not, this again influences the yield. |
