SUMMARY The contents of endogenous ABA ° and GA 3 in Lemna aequinoctialis were assayed by means of gas chromatography. A comparison was made between non‐induced plants, grown under continuous LD, and induced plants, which received 4 SD for flower induction. It appears that flowering of the SDP Lemna aequinoctialis is associated with a high ABA content and a low GA 3 content. These results are consistent with our previous results which showed that CCC, an inhibitor of GA 3 biosynthesis, induced flowering of the Lemna plant under non‐inductive continuous light.
