โฆ Synopsis
Diffusible gibberellins were obtainable in agar from excised 4 mm tips of etiolated coleoptiles of Zea mays. Placing the tips in a horizontal position increased the total yield of gibberellins by approximately five times. With horizontal tips, the ratio of gibberellin activity recovered from lower and upper halves, expressed as a percentage of total yield, was 80.76:19.24 (lower:upper).
