The cell walls of barley (Hordeum vulgare var. Himalaya) aleurone layers undergo extensive degradation during the tissue's response to gibberellic acid. Previous work had shown that these cell walls consist almost entirely of arabinoxylan. In this study we show that gibberellic acid stimulates endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity in isolated aleurone layers. In addition, gibberellic acid enhances th...

Logarithmic growth rates (either fresh or dry weight basis) of tobacco callus tissues grown on 10(-4) to 10(-1) mum cytokinin are increased if gibberellic acid (10(-3)-2 mum) is incorporated into the medium. At higher (1-10 mum) cytokinin concentrations gibberellic acid has little effect on growth rate but extends the duration of logarithmic growth. The gibberellic acid effect is noticeable onl...

the abscission of alstroemeria petals is the serious problem at the industry of cut flowers of this plant. in this study, cut alstroemeria cv. bridal flowers were pulsed with solutions containing natural essential oil carvacrol, gibberellic acid and benzyladenine (50 and 100 mg l-1), -5-sulfosalicylic acid (1 and 1.5 mm) and sucrose (5 and 10%) for 24 hours. the distilled water was used as cont...

tulip is one of the most important flowers to precocity. treatment of tulip bulbs with gibberellic acid reduces the forcing period in the greenhouse resulting energy saving and reduces the tulip’s physiological disorders. this study carried out about three tulip cultivars includes ‘lacourtine’, ‘yokohama’ and ‘red favourite’. the results showed that gibberellic acid reduced significantly stem l...

Optimization studies for improvement in the yield of gibberellic acid production by Fusarium moniliforme in submerged and solid-state fermentation is the focus of this paper. In the current study, use of jatropha seed cake as substrate for solid-state fermentation resulted in an unprecedented gibberellic acid yield of 105 mg/g of moldy bran. A 2.5 fold increased in the titre resulting in 15 g g...

The abscission of Alstroemeria petals is the serious problem at the industry of cut flowers of this plant. In this study, cut Alstroemeria cv. Bridal flowers were pulsed with solutions containing natural essential oil carvacrol, gibberellic acid and benzyladenine (50 and 100 mg L-1), -5-sulfosalicylic acid (1 and 1.5 mM) and sucrose (5 and 10%) for 24 hours. The distilled water was used as cont...

The effects of abscisic acid, zeatin, and gibberellic acid on the development of somatic embryos from cultured cells of caraway (Carum carvi L.) were observed.Somatic embryos complete development on a basal medium without exogenous hormones, but some are subject to developmental abnormalities including malformed cotyledons and accessory embryos. Both zeatin and gibberellic acid, especially in c...

Concentrated whole extracts of the immature fruit of carob and 3 fractions derived from this extract have been shown to inhibit the gibberellic acid induced growth of pea seedlings. The inhibition can be completely reversed by increasing the amount of gibberellic acid. The inhibitors do not reduce the endogenous growth of seedlings but only that induced by gibberellic acid. One of the fractions...

Protein and soluble nitrogen distribution in different parts of lettuce seedling was studied in light and darkness and in presence and absence of gibberellic acid. In dark, applied gibberellic acid failed to show any marked effect on the nitrogen changes in lettuce. Light inhibits translocation of nitrogen reserves from the cotyledons. Gibberellic acid reverses the light inhibition of longitudi...
