Plant Physiology 58:68-70 (1976) © 1976 American Society of Plant Biologists Endogenous Gibberellins of Pine PollenIII. Conversion of 1,2-[3H]GA4 to Gibberellins A1 and A34 in Germinating Pollen of Pinus attenuata Lemm. 1a Department of Biology, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2N 1N4
Gibberellins A1 and A34 (possibly A2) were found as products of metabolism of 1,2-[3H]GA4 during germination of Pinus attenuata pollen. The conversion from GA4 to GA1 and GA34 occurred as hydroxylations at atoms C-13 and C-2 of the ent-gibberellane skeleton, respectively. Percentage interconversion of the GA4 absorbed was in the range of 0.15 to 0.43% for GA1 and 1.54 to 3.22% for GA34. Identifications were made on a gas-liquid chromatograph with radioactive monitoring by comparison with standards.
