Metabolism of [3H]Gibberellin A20 in Light- and Dark-grown Tobacco Callus Cultures 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The growth of tobacco callus in culture (previously shown to contain gibberellin [GA]-like substances), and its ability to metabolize [3H]-GA20 were examined. Growth rates, in the presence and absence of exogenously applied GA, were examined in light and dark conditions. Dark-grown callus grew at a much faster rate than light-grown and [3H]GA20 was metabolized much more rapidly in darkness than in light.
