| Abstract: | During germination of the lucerne seed, proteolytic and gibberellinic activity increases. Exogenous GA added to the solution in which the seed was germinated caused an increment in proteolytic activity. CCC inhibited the biosynthesis of GA in the seed- ling, and had no effect on the proteases. This indicates that there are other factors Hum GA responsible for the increment in proteolytic activity during Medicago germination. |
