When barley aleurone layers were incubated with (3)H-Gibberellin A1 ((3)H-GA1), the hormone was converted to (3)H-GA-X (not identified), (3)H-GA8 and two other compounds tentatively identified as (3)H-GA1-glucoside, and (3)H-GA8-glucoside. Uptake and metabolism of the (3)H-GA1 were markedly enhanced

β¦ Synopsis
Gibberellin A14 and kaurene, precursors of gibberellin A a, are active in the barley endosperm reducing-sugar assay, but require longer incubation periods for activity to be observed than does GA 3. This finding shows that the incubation period must be considered when determining whether a compound is active in this assay. The longer incubation periods required by GA14 and kaurene may reflect reduced rates of penetration, or reduced activity within the cell, or the time required for conversion to a physiologically active form.

## Abstract In connection with studies of the solid state photolysis the crystal and molecular structure of 3βdehydro gibberellin A~3~ was determined by Xβray analysis. The final discrepancy factor __R__ was 0.078. The packing of the molecules in the crystal explains the preference of intramolecula
