✦ Synopsis
The induction of a-amylase by exogenously supplied gibberellin A~ (GA1) and GA 4 in embryoless caryopses of Hordeum vulgare (cv. Himalaya) was determined indirectly by measuring reducing sugars released from the endosperm. The presence of the inhibitors of GA biosynthesis, 2isopropyl-4-dimethylamino-5-methylphenyl-l-piperidinecarboxylate methyl chloride (Amo 1618), Ancymidol, 2-chloroethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CCC) or (R,S)-l-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(l,2,3-triazolyl)pentan-3-ol (PP333) did not inhibit 0~-amylase production by either GA1 or GA 4.
