Abstract

Gibberellic acid induced growth in Avena (oat) stem segments within 35 minutes after hormone application. The total elongation elicited by gibberellic acid was greater than 15 times the control growth. The sensitivity of the segments to low concentrations of gibberellic acid (1 pmole) and the specificity of the segments to the gibberellin class of hormones suggest that oat stem segments would be a valuable tool for gibberellin bioassays. Both gibberellic acid-induced growth and control growth are temperature-dependent and showed a Q(10) of two or greater. Although the most apparent effect of gibberellic acid was to promote the uptake of water into the internode, the hormone also promoted transport of endogenous substrate and the uptake of exogenous substrate into the growing region. The growth promotion was accomplished without an apparent increase in osmotic pressure.
