Abstract: Effects of different root zone temperature on changes of endogenous hormone contents in leaves were studied by man-made heating while cucumbers and tomatoes were blossoming and bearing fruits in solar greenhouse. The results indicated that contents of leaf gibberellic acid (GA3), indol-3yl-acetic acid (IAA), zeatin riboside (ZR) increased with heating root zone and their contents had a rising tendency as temperature rising. There were significant differences between 15℃ treatment, 20℃ treatment, 25℃ treatment and natural root temperature. Abscisis acid (ABA) content decreased as temperature rising and there were significant differences between 20℃ treatment, 25℃ treatment and natural root temperature. It showed that changes of root zone temperature affected synthesis, transportation and distribution of endogenous hormones in cucumbers and tomatoes.

Key words: Root zone temperature, Cucumber, Tomato, Endogenous hormone
