Synthesis of gibberellin GA6 and its role in flowering of Lolium temulentum

Add time:08/10/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

The induction of flowering by one long day (LD) in the grass Lolium temulentum is most closely mimicked by application of the gibberellins (GAs) GA5 or GA6, both of which occur naturally. These gibberellins promote floral development but have little effect on stem elongation. Endogenous GA5 and GA6 contents in the shoot apex double on the day after the LD and, for GA5 (and we presume for GA6 as well) reach a concentration known to be inductive for the excised shoot apex in vitro. They are, therefore, strong candidates as LD floral stimuli in this grass. The synthesis of GA6 and an examination of its florigenic properties in L. temulentum are described.
