Abstract
Stowe and Yamaki1 wrote, in a recent review, of the work on the physiological action of the gibberillins: “Reminiscent of the auxins, no convincing action of the gibberillins has yet been shown on any organisms except higher plants”. In the course of studies on protonematal regeneration and growth in the moss Splachnum ampullaceum (L.) Hedw., the effect of gibberellic acid on the growth of the protonemata was also tested.
