Gibberellins in Embryo-Suspensor of Phaseolus coccineus Seeds at the Heart Stage of Embryo Development
Abstract
Gibberellins (GAs) in suspensors and embryos of Phaseolus coccineus seeds at the heart stage of embryo development were analyzed by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). From the suspensor four C(19)-GAs, GA(1), GA(4), GA(5), GA(6), and one C(20) GA, GA(44), were identified. From the embryo, five C(19)-GAs GA(1), GA(4), GA(5), GA(6), GA(60) and two C(20) GAs, GA(19) and GA(44) were identified. The data, in relation to previous results, suggest a dependence of the embryo on the suspensor during early stages of development.
