Abstract: | ![]() C2- and C3-derivatives of GA4 and GA9 were tested for biological activity in a range of plant assays. The activity of most of these derivatives was equal to, or less than, that of the parent GAs. However, 2β-methylGA4 and 2,2-dimethylGA4 had a higher activity than GA4 in some assays and the latter derivative was shown to be the most active GA known to date in the Forward oat first leaf, Tan-ginbozu dwarf rice and d5-maize assays. Two other derivatives, 12,16-cycloGA9 and 19-desoxyGA9 had less activity than GA9. |
