Stimulation of Root Thickening and Inhibition of Bolting by Jasmonic Acid in Beet Plants

Beet is a biennial plant. In the first season, it develops leaf rosette on a dwarf stem and forms a thick storage root.Based on the idea that some growth-inhibiting compound may participate in these developmental events, the effects of jasmonic acid (JA) on root thickening and stem elongation (bolti...
