Abstract: | The biological activities of various gibberellin biosynthesis-relatedsubstances; mevalonic acid, kaurene derivatives, steviol, GA18,GA38, GA23, GA28 and GA3, were examined using the barley endospermtest, with the "paper disc method", which responds to a verysmall amount of gibberellin. Mevalonic acid was inactive. Kaurene was slightly active andits activity levelled off at a relative small dosage. Thoughthe activity of kaurenol after a short period was similar tothat of kaurene after a longer period, the former showed anoptimum curve of activity after a longer period. Kaurenoic acid,steviol and GA18 also showed an optimum activity curve, aftera short period in which the highest activity increased in thesequence given. The activities of GA38, GA23 and GA3 were foundto be high after a very short period, increasing in the sequencegiven and linearly with an increase in dosage although GA28was very slightly active after a longer period.
