LEAF GRAFT EXPERIMENTS. “It was proposed by Chailakhyan (1936) more than half a century ago that the signal passing between leaves and response sites is a specific flowering hormone: florigen. This idea was based on a series of experiments showing that grafting of leaves from one donor species to a separate receptor species could cause flowering. This strongly suggested the participation of common signals in different species.”
