Factors involving on floral induction of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) and Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris var. pekinensi) were investigated including concentrations of potassium chlorate (KClO3) (25, 125, 250, and 500 micro g/l), 5-azacytidine (25, 125, 250, and 500 micro g/l) and low temperature (10 deg C) exposure for 5, 10, 15 and 20 days, compared to the untreated one. The results showed that in spinach, plants treated with KClO3, 5-azacytidine and low temperature exposure for 15-20 days showed similar results in both reducing days of flowering and increasing percentage of flowering, in comparison to non-treated one. While in Brassica campestris, both vegetative growth and floral induction were also affected by these factors. The prolonged period of low temperature exposure could promote percentage of bolting, floral induction and flower morphogenesis KClO3, as well as 5-azacytidine could increase percentage of bolting plant and floral induction but flower morphogenesis were not observed. The non-treated plants remained rosette all the experimental period.
