Ralstonia sp. strain GA3-3 is a hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-degrading bacterial strain isolated from suburban soil in Canberra, Australia. The genome of strain GA3-3 was sequenced to investigate its ability to degrade α-HCH. Here, we report the annotated genome sequence of this strain.

The germination of Ferula ovina seeds faces certain problems. The present research was designed to study the promotion of the germination of Ferula ovina seeds by moist-chilling and GA3 applications. The results showed that Ferula ovina seeds display an endogenous dormancy that can be released by moist-chilling treatment for a certain period. In this respect, the best treatment was moist-chilli...

To study the role of abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GA) in pre-maturity α-amylase (PMA) formation in developing wheat grain, two glasshouse experiments were conducted under controlled conditions in the highly PMA-susceptible genotype Rialto. The first, determined the relative efficacy of applying hormone solutions by injection into the peduncle compared to direct application to the intac...

Plant hormone keeps a significant role to enlarge the fruit size and quality development. Fruit growers have a lot of interest in making fruit enlargement and shorten maturity to harvest fruit earlier and to make it marketable soon. Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and bark stress play a significant role in fruit enlargement and development. Bilimbi fruit was used in this experiment. The flower bud were ...

Preand post-harvest physiology and quality responses of green pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv ‘Standar p.13/0211003-01-Agris’) on exogenous Gibberellic acid-GA3 (100 μM), ProhexadioneCalcium (100 mg l), Cycocel (100 mg l) and Ethephon (100 mg l) applied as foliar sprays, were investigated. Among PGRs, GA3 @ 100μM was effective in promoting flowering and better for vegetative characteristics. Chlo...

The study compared the effects of 1.0 × MS medium containing various concentrations of α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), alone or in combination with gibberellic acid (GA3) in micropropagation of three potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars Pasinler, Granola, and Caspar using binodal stem cuttings. The results testified improved regene...

This study was conducted during two successive seasons 2005 and 2006 by using "Desert Red" peach cultivar (Prunus persica L.) grafted on Nemaguard rootstock. Trees were sprayed with a hand sprayer to the run off at the initiation of phase ΙΙΙ of the double sigmoid curve before the onset of the climacteric. The treatments included putrescine at 5 and 10 mM, GA3 at 200 and 400 ppm, in addition to...
