식물생장촉진제와 억제제의 처리가 동백의 화아형성과 개화기에 미치는 영향을 알아본 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 봄철 맹어후 살포처리한 gibberellin은 shoot의 신장을 촉진시켰으나 화아형성을 억제시켰다. 2. Cycocel(CCC)의 처리는 화아형성에 촉진적으로 작용하였다. 3. 화아에 처리한 gibberellin은 개화시기를 효과적으로 단축시켰다.

In order to examine the effect of growth regulators on flower bud formation and anthesis, various growth regulators were applied during the initiation and growthstages of flower bud development in Camellia. The inhibitor CCC increased flowerbud formation. But gibberellin had a strong suppressing effect of flower budformation while it stimulated elongatien of shoots. On the other hand, gibberellinpromoted the growth of flower buds and hastened anthesis, while other growthregulators had no effect.
