Eranthis (Ranunculaceae). E. hyemalis germ. best in 70-40(90% in 55-59 d). A detailed study of the rates of inhibitor destruction at 70 and the clock reaction at 40 are described in Chapter 7. Treatment with GA-3 is not of practical importance, but is interesting from a chemical viewpoint. Seeds treated with GA-3 germ. 89% in 76-87 d if placed directly at 40 and 100% in 47-56 dat 401f given 4w at 70 first. Both results .show that the GA-3 nullifies the effect of the inhibitor system that was destroyed at 70, but has only a minor effect on the inhibitor system destroyed at 40. Eremostachys (
