Usage

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 468-44-0 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Gibberellin A4 is a plant growth hormone that regulates growth and differentiation of plant cells for elongation, germination and enzyme induction.
2. Gibberellin A4 has been used as a supplement in Murashige and Skoog (MS) media for enhancing plant growth.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Gibberillic acids (GA) are important plant growth hormones that promote plant cell growth and elongation. Gebberillins promote rapid stem and root growth, induce mitotic division and initiate (break dormancy) and increase seed germination rates. The gibberellins are also involved in processes such as gravitropism, tensioning and floral display.

Probing the mechanism of loss of carbon-20 in gibberellin biosynthesis. Synthesis of gibberellin 3α,20-hemiacetal and 19,20-lactol analogues and their metabolism by a recombinant GA 20-oxidase

A gibberellin 3α,20-hemiacetal,1 (equivalent to 3-epi-gibberellin A36), has been synthesised from gibberellin A13. Turnover of this hemiacetal by recombinant gibberellin 20-oxidase occurred with loss of the 20-carbon atom to give the 20-nor-19,10-lactone (3-epi-gibberellin A4). In addition, two other enzyme products were detected and identified by synthesis as 3-epi-20-norgibberellin A13 and 3-epi-1,10-didehydro-20-norgibberellin A13. These by-products indicate that the enzymatic reaction proceeds via a C-10 radical intermediate. Carbon radicals at C-10 and acyl radicals at C-20 were generated chemically and their decomposition products were studied with reference to the biological mechanism. The corresponding 19-nor-3α,20-hemiacetal 3 and 19-methylene analogue 4 were synthesised but were not oxidised at C-20 by the enzyme. These results indicate that the 19-carboxylic acid is an essential component of the enzyme reaction.
