GA3 promotes flowering in golden spider lily in experimental plant study

An experimental study in golden spider lily found that 200 mg/L GA3 promoted flower-bud differentiation and increased flowering through coordinated changes in hormone signaling and carbohydrate metabolism. Exogenous GA3 promoted flower-bud differentiation and significantly increased flowering rates in an experimental study of the ornamental plant Lycoris aurea, also known as golden spider lily The researchers identified 200 mg/L as the optimal GA3 concentration The study examined the response under experimental conditions and combined histological observations with flowering measurements, hormone and carbohydrate measurements, and integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to investigate the biological processes associated with the treatment aurea is characterized by a prolonged vegetative phase and delayed flowering, both of which limit the species’ ornamental and commercial…
