β¦ Synopsis
A bioassay for the inhibition of flowering involving the in vitro culture of excised, partially-induced, apices of Viscaria candida is described. This bioassay has been used to detect flowering inhibition in extracts from Kalanchoe bloss]eldiana.

A bioassay specific for polygalacturonase (PG) activity is described. This assay, based on fresh weight loss of cucumber pericarp tissue, is sensitive to very low levels of pectolytic activity, reproducible, and requires minimal purification of extracts. METHODS AND MATERIALS
The inhibition of flowering in Kalanchoe by crude sap expressed from leaves held in non-inductive long-day conditions is described, using a bioassay technique of leaf injection, which confirms the existence of a transferable inhibitor.This technique has also revealed that Β± abscisic acid and Xanthox
