The endogenous gibberellins of vegetative and reproductive tissue of G2 peas

Abstract
The gibberellins (GAs) of both vegetative (leaves and stems) and reproductive (pods and seeds) tissue of the G2 strain of peas Pisum sativum L. were characterized in purified extracts by a combination of sequential silicic-acid partition column chromatography, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Gibberellins A19, A20, A29 and an A29 catabolite were identified in both types of tissue. Gibberellins A9, A17 and A44 were also found in pods and seeds.
