The red light controlled production of gibberellin in etiolated wheat leaves

B R Loveys et al. Planta. 1971 Jun.

Abstract

Most of the gibberellin activity detectable in extracts of etiolated wheat leaf tissue occurs in a bound form. There is a rapid increase in extractable gibberellin-like substances following exposure of the tissue to red light with a concomitant fall in the amount of bound gibberellin. Actinomycin-D and AMo 1618 do not inhibit this initial phase of red light stimulated gibberellin production.It is concluded that red light stimulated gibberellin production in etiolated wheat leaf tissue is due to release from a bound form and to synthesis.
