Abstract
Gibberellins in the embryo-suspensor system have been considered so far only in Phaseolus coccineus. We present in this report the localization of gibberellin-like substances in the suspensors of Tropaeolum majus L. and Cytisus laburnum L. The total gibberellin activity (expressed as gibberellic-acid equivalent in the α-amylase bioassay) in 2000 suspensors (106 mg fresh weight; FW) of C. laburnum and in 600 suspensors (236 mg FW) of T. majus were 50.9 μg g(-1) FW and 8.9 μg g(-1) FW respectively.Entities:
