INHIBITORY EFFECT OF PACLOBUTRAZOL ON AMARANTHUS PANICULATUS L. SEED GERMINATION AND ITS REVERSAL BY GA3 AND ETHEPHON
Paclobutrazol, the specific inhibitor of gibberellin biosynthesis, inhibited the germination of Amaranthus paniculatus L. seeds, and this effect was reversed by gibberellin A3 (GA3) and ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid). It is suggested that endogenous gibberellins are required for the germination of these seeds and the effect of GA3 can be mimicked by ethylene released from ethephon.
