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
