BPA is a highly mobile synthetic cytokinin. Foliar spray of BPA increased branching in carnation; chrysan-themum; pointsettia; petu-nia and fuchsia. In no instance did BPA redu-ce plant height. Application of BPA to flower buds at an early stage increased both the diameter and the fresh weight of carnation flowers or chrysanthemum infloresences (Jeffcoat; B. J. of Hort. Sc. 52:143-153 (1977). In Lilium longiflorum; spraying with BPA resul-ted in delay-ed anthesis and increased dry matter accumulation in flowers under high photosynthetic photon flux. Appli-cation of BPA induced the formation of numerous bul-bils in the leaf axils (Wang YT; Hort Sc. 31 (6) 976-977 (1996).BPA can be used as cytokinin for haploid plant regenera-tion from cultured anthers of strawberry (Owen H.R. and Miller AR. PCR 15: 905-909 (1996).
