The study deals with the effect of indol-3-ylacetic acid (IAA) on endogenous rhythm of flowering inChenopodium rubrum L. ecotype 374. Phase setting of the rhythm and length of its period were not affected, its amplitude decreased or changed insignificantly depending on the time and the site of IAA application. The intervals of significant inhibitory effect of IAA applied to apical buds terminated later than after IAA application to photoreceptive organs. The inhibitory effect did not correlate with the level of IAA uptake. Results obtained support the hypothesis that both photoreceptive organs and apical buds are the sites of inhibitory effect of applied IAA.
