Summary
A chromatographic method for qualitative and quantitative determination of gibberellic acid inF. moniliforme infected rice plants has been described. The concentration of gibberellic acid and the area of the band on a circular paper chromatogram bear a linear relationship. The results indicate a greater accumulation of gibberellic acid in shoots than roots of the rice plant var. MTU 9, susceptible to the fungus.
