AXILLARY BUD BEHAVIOUR

Could hedging cause exhaustion of flowering and branching sites?

Do axillary buds have a fixed fate determined at formation ? OR is their behaviour dependent on environment?

AND how?

Continuing investigations

A. Temperature

– time of floral initiation

B. Location

– stem patterns

– plastic with pruning

– related to formation?

CARBOHYDRATES + 3D STRUCTURE

• New growth utilisation of stored vs newly synthesised carbohydrates
