Dose-response effects of salicylic acid (SA) on growth and flowering rates. (A) Inhibitory effect of SA on the growth of L. gibba clones 7741 and 5504 and L. minor clone 7210 in semi-solid medium. Asterisks indicate the lowest concentration that significantly inhibited the growth of the three clones (students’s t-test, α < 0.05). (B) Effects of SA concentration in liquid medium on the flowering rates of L. gibba 7741 and 5504. (C) Effects of SA on solidified medium on the flowering rates of L. gibba 7741 and 5504. Note: Data are means of three independent experiments and are presented as mean ± standard error. Significance of differences in (B) and (C), were tested by one-way ANOVA (α < 0.05); Lower case letters mark significance of the effect of different SA concentrations, capical letters evaluate the differences in the response of both L. gibba clones. The results on L. minor 7210 in (B) and (C) were not presented because there was no stimulating effect.
