Description
Summary:PAPER chromatography of the gibberellins has been investigated by many investigators but no comprehensive study of all the known gibberellins has been reported. MacMillan, Seaton and Suter 1 described four solvent systems which separate gibberellins A 5 , A 6 , A 8 and A 9 but not the pairs gibberellin A 1 and gibberellic acid ( A 3 ) or gibberellins A 4 and A 7 . The solvent systems used by Takahashi et al. 2 and Phinney et al. 3 do not separate gibberellins A 1 , A 2 and A 3 . Gibberellins A 1 and A 3 can be separated on paper which is developed by overflow elution with benzene/acetic acid/water (4 : 1 : 2); this method is lengthy when conducted under gravity as described by Bird and Pugh 4 and resolution is poor when development is hastened by centrifugal force 5 .
