Hillman, WilliamS. (Yale U., New Haven, Conn.)Experimental control of flowering in Lemna. III. A relationship between medium composition and the opposite photoperiodic responses of L. perpusilla 6746 and L. gibba G3.Amer. Jour. Bot. 48(5): 413–419. Illus. 1961.—In a simple Hoagland‐type medium,L. perpusilla6746 flowers, irrespective of daylength;L. gibbaG3 does not flower under any daylength, as long as the medium is changed frequently. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) prevents the flowering ofL. perpusillain long days but not in short, and brings about the flowering ofL. gibbain long days but not in short. The same results are obtained with medium “aged” by the growth in it ofL. gibbafor several weeks (in any photoperiod) as well as with tartaric acid. The effectiveness of both EDTA and “aged” medium is greater at pH levels near 5 than at 4 or below, probably reflecting action through metal‐chelation. These results are most easily interpreted as effects on photoperiodic sensitivity, and suggest a central role of metals in photoperiodism.
