Gibberellic acid was reported to inhibit flowering, reduce frond size, and increase the multiplication rate of aseptically cultured Lemna perpusilla 6746 when autoclaved with the medium (4), but there are no reports on the effects of nonautoclaved GA3 on this species. Since GA3 is unstable to heat (2), all or part of the reported effects of GA3 on L. perpusilla 6746 might be due to decomposition products formed during autoclaving (6). The results that follow show that auto
