Effects of the Na and Le loci on gibberellin (GA) content and transport in pea (Pisum sativum L.) shoots were studied. GA₁, GA₈, GA₁₇, GA₁₉, GA₂₀, GA₂₉, GA₄₄, GA₈ catabolite, and GA₂₉ catabolite were identified by full-scan gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in extracts of expanding and fully expanded tissues of line C79-338 (Na Le). Quantification of GAs by gas chromatography-single-ion monitoring using deuterated internal standards in lines differing at the Na and Le alleles showed that na reduced the contents of GA₁₉, GA₂₀, and GA₂₉ on average to <3% and of GA₁ and GA₈ to <30% of those in corresponding Na lines. In expanding tissues from Na le lines, GA₁ and GA₈ concentrations were reduced to approximately 10 and 2%, respectively, and GA₂₉ content increased 2- to 3-fold compared with those in Na Le plants. There was a close correlation between stem length and the concentrations of GA₁ or GA₈ in shoot apices in all six genotypes investigated. In na/Na grafts, internode length and GA₁ concentration of nana scions were normalized, the GA₂₀ content increased slightly, but GA₁₉ levels were unaffected. Movement of labeled GAs applied to leaves on Na rootstocks indicated that GA₁₉ was transported poorly to apices of na scions compared with GA₂₀ and GA₁. Our evidence suggests that GA₂₀ is the major transported GA in peas.
