induction of flowering

[Venugopal S Kalavacharla]

Hi Netters,

i am working with some progeny of bean plants exposed to fast-neutron
bombardment, which show delayed flowering...the avg. time for flowering in
a wild-type is about 4-6 weeks from planting, but these mutant plants take
around 10 weeks. would you have any suggestions on trying to get these
plants to flower earlier (like growth hormones, physiological stimuli
etc).

thanks,

kal
