Abstract

Gibberellin (GA) metabolism in higher plants has been studied for the past 15 years with mixed success (1,2). The entire biosynthetic pathway from mevalonic acid to a C-19 GA has been conclusively demonstrated in cell-free systems from Cucurbita maxima (3). However, the pathway from mevalonic acid to GA12-aldehyde has not been convincingly demonstrated in cellular systems from higher plants. The bulk of GA metabolic work with intact higher plants has involved a study of the conversion of one GA into another. This work is almost exclusively confined to the C-19 GAs. Thus our current knowledge of GA metabolism in intact higher plants is fragmentary.
