External application of auxin and cytokinin is required for the formation of flower buds on thin-layer tissue explants of Nicotiana tabacum cv Samsun. Interaction between both plant growth regulators during this regenerative process has been demonstrated with respect to speed of flower bud initiation and the number of flower buds formed. Separation in time of the hormone application during culture revealed that the cytokinin benzyladenine plays a key role in flower bud initiation whereas auxin (indoleacetic acid) stimulates in particular the differentiation of flower buds. The uptake of each hormone was proportional to the concentration supplied in the medium, and the uptake of either hormone appeared independently of the presence of the other. Metabolism studies showed the conversion of indoleacetic acid by the tissue to at least 13 metabolites after 24 h of culture. In addition, indoleacetic acid metabolism was demonstrated not to be influenced by the uptake and metabolism of benzyladenine. Taken together the results indicate that the interaction of auxin and cytokinin with respect to in vitro flower bud formation is indirect, i.e. does not take place at the level of hormone uptake or metabolism but at some step in the cascade of processes they initiate.

Specific cultivars of many commercial fruit tree undergo cycles of heavy fruit load (ON-crop) one year, followed by low fruit load (OFF-crop) the next (termed alternate bearing). Fruit load may affect flowering at various developmental stages, and its presence is suggested to generate a flowering-inhibitory signal. In a previous report, we showed that the presence of fruit induces polar auxin transport from the fruit into the stem, interfering with indole acetic acid (IAA) release from the bud, and thus elevating its levels in the bud meristem.
