Correlations within a shoot ofChenopodium rubrum L. ecotype 374 grown under continuous light or photoperiodic flower induction were studied using surgical treatments. Removal of a single pair of shoot organs had a variety of effects depending on position: significant changes in the number of leaf pair on the main axis or in axillary buds and in the height of shoot apices; or no effect on the parameters scored. Flowering was not affected by any of the treatments carried out. Decapitation brought about a significant increase in the number of leaf pairs in axillary buds and flowering was inhibited in 8- and 9-d old plants. Flowering was not affected in 21-d old plants. The role of shoot organ correlations, especially that of apical dominance, in regulation of flowering inC.rubrum is discussed.
