Abstract: | In developing apical meristems of corn, the level of acidic, ethyl acetate-soluble gibberellin (GA)-like substances increased to a maximum of 108 micrograms GA3-equivalents per kilogram dry weight of tissue at inflorescence initiation, and then fell rapidly. At anthesis, only a trace (0.2 microgram per kilogram) of GA-like activity remained in the apical (male) inflorescences, whereas moderate activity (32 micrograms per kilogram), mostly of a nonpolar nature, was present in lateral, female, inflorescences. |
