โฆ Synopsis
The soluble fraction of a cell-free system from immature seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris L. converts gibberellin A20 (GA20) to GA s and GA 5.
It does however not metabolize GA1 and GA29
to GA 5, showing that in this system GA2o is converted directly to GA 5. The steps from GAzo to GA s (3-hydroxylation) and from GA20 to GA 5 (A 2 double-bond formation) require oxygen, Fe 2 + and ~-ketoglutarate, and are stimulated by ascotbate. The enzymes catalyzing these conversions have properties similar to those of GA oxidases found in Cucurbita maxima and Pisum sativum.

The fate of the carbon-20 atom in gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis was studied in a cell-free system from Pisum sativum. This carbon atom is lost at the aldehyde stage of oxidation when C2o-GAs are converted to C19-GAs. Gibberellin A~2 labeled with 14C at C-20 was prepared from [3"-~4C]mevalonic acid w
The biosynthetic steps from gibberellin A12-aldehyde (GA12-aldehyde) to C19-GAs were studied by means of a cell-free system from the embryos of immature Phaseolus vulgaris seeds. Stable-isotope-labeled GAs were used as substrates and the products were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectromet
