The authors evaluated the effects of phytohormones （auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins） in the mooring and features of orange fruit in cultivars Washington navel and Thomson （Citrus sinensis （L.） Osb.）, The experiment was established in a split plot randomized complete block design with five treatments and four replications. Flower tissue samples were stored in liquid N until the extraction of gibberellins and the identification and quantification of GA3. The results showed statistically significant difference （P 〈 0.05） between treatments in the number of fruits retained 129 d after flowering and the percentage of final tie. GA3 content ranged, on a dry weight basis, from 1.66 mg＇g1 in the control to 20.79 mg.g-1 in the high dose. The mean dose （32.2 mg.L-1 auxins, gibberellins 32.2 mg L-1 and 83.2 mg.L-1 cytokinins） caused the largest increase in fruit set.展开更多
