In this study, the relationship between the growth of a young shoot and the flower bud formation were observed closely with research the course of a flower bud formation in order to clarify Differe-ntiation of the flower bud, growth and Fructification phenomenon of S. melongena L.
The results obtained were as follows;
1.The period of the differentiation of the flower bud showed a remarkable difference depending on. the environmental factors of the young shoot's nourishing period and the growth after sowing.
2.After the first flower differentiated, the flower buds were differentiated on the terminal bud each 2or 3 leaves differentiation upward the main stem according to the vegitative growth.
3.The differentiation of the flower buds increased geometrically above and below from the first flower.
4.The period of the flower bud's differentiation and the increasing state of the differentiated num-ber afterwards were different according to the young shoot's nourishing period. ; In case of a flouris- hing vegetative growth under the high temperature nourishing, the differentiation of the flower bud were rapid and the number of the differentiated flowerbuds afterwards increased also. On the contr-ary, in case of low temperature nourishing, the differentiation of flower bud and the increasing rate were delayed.
