Abstract: Concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA3) and abscisic acid (ABA), zeatin (ZT) were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in the leaves of wax apple during forcing culture to elucidate the possible relationship between endogenous hormones and floral induction. The results showed that the levels of IAA, ZT, GA3 and ABA in leaves declined after shading. The levels of IAA, ZT, ABA increased after flower forcing while the level of GA3 declined. The low ratios of IAA/ABA, GA3/ABA, (IAA GA3)/ABA and the high ratio of ZT/GA3 were beneficial to floral induction. High ABA level, low GA3/ABA ratio and high ZT/GA3 ratio might play a dominant role in flower bud differentiation in wax apple.
