Abstract
Externally applied gibberellin A3 (GA3) is known to show little effect on root elongation whereas it strongly promotes stem elongation in peas. GA3 was, however, found to enhance root elongation when root elongation was suppressed by ancymidol (Anc), an inhibitor of gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis. In a series of dose-response experiments, Anc was found to inhibit elongation and induced expansion of roots. These Anc effects were reversed when GA3 was given together with Anc.
