Summary
Seeds and fruit walls ofPharbitis purpurea contain in addition to the free gibberellins A8, A3, A5, more polar gibberellin-like substances, so-called ‘bound’ gibberellins tentatively namedPharbitis α andβ. After purification by thin layer chromatography, these 2 substances were treated with both Ficin and Emulsin in buffered solutions of pH 6.2. After treatment with Emulsin, the free gibberellins A8 and A5, after treatment with Ficin the gibberellins A3 and A5, were detectable in thin layer chromatograms.
