Gibberellic acid (GA(3)) and inhibitors of gibberellin biosynthesis (daminozide and chlormequat chloride) were applied to the foliage of potato plants grown from true seed (TPS) either once at two stages of plant development, 40 and 60 days after transplantation (DAT), or repeatedly at 10 day interv...
