Biochemical Studies on “Bakanae” Fungus

Abstract
It has been confirmed that gibberellin A is a mixture of three components, gibberellin A1, gibberellin A2 and gibberellic acid (namely gibberellin X), by treating their methyl ester through the chromatography on Al2O3 column. Attempts to separate them in free acid were made. The physical and chemical properties of each gibberellin as well as its physiological properties are described.
