The effect of the endosperm on the formation of gibberellin by barley embryos

M Radley. Planta. 1969 Sep.

Abstract

It has been shown that the scuttellum of germinating barley embryos synthesises gibberellin in intact grains or when detached from the endosperm, but not when attached to the endosperm if the axis is removed. Evidence is given to support the hypothesis that the inhibition of gibberellin synthesis is caused by a disturbance of sugar metabolism.
