Methyl Jasmonate Induces Gum and Inhibits Stem Growth Promoted by Auxin in Uncooled Tulip Bulbs

Methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) induced strong gummosis when it was applied at a concentration of 1.00/0 in lanolin paste in the middle of the fourth internode of the stem promoted by indole-3-acetic acid (0.10/0 IAA) of uncooled derooted and cooled derooted tulip bulbs of 'Apeldoorn' and 'Gudoshnik'. In addition, JA-Me inhibited growih of the internode of tulip stem induced by O. Io/o IAA in lanolin paste when it was applied to the cut surface of the top internode of the same tulip stems. The possible inhibitory action of JA-Me on stem elongation induced by IAA in uncooled and cooled tulip bulbs is also discussed.
