✦ Synopsis

Most of the gibberellin activity detectable in extracts of etiolated wheat leaf tissue occurs in a bound form. There is a rapid increase in extractable gibberellin-like substances following exposure of the tissue to red light with a concomitant fall in the amount of bound gibberellin. Actinomycin-D and AMo 1618 do not inhibit this initial phase of red light stimulated gibberellin production.

It is concluded that red light stimulated gibberellin production in etiolated wheat leaf tissue is due to release from a bound form and to synthesis.

Irradiation of homogenates of etiolated barley leaves with red light resulted in an increase in the levels of gibberellin (GA)-like substances as compared to dark controls. When homogenates were fed with [3HJ-GA~ there was an incorporation of the radioactivity into a number of other GA's: this proce

The aim of this work was to discover whether the respiration of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv.

For young and old leaves, CO2 production and O2 uptake after 7 h photosynthesis were u

Protoplasts from dark-grown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) maintained at a constant osmotic potential at 22°C, were found to swell upon red irradiation (R) and the effect was negated by subsequent far-red light (FR), indicating phytochrome involvement.

Light was found to inhibit substantially (i.e. up to 88%) the production of ethylene induced by water stress in excised wheat leaves and from the shoots of intact plants. The relatively small amounts of ethylene emanating fron non-stressed leaves were also inhibited by light but to a smaller degree
