Effects of batatasin III and its analogs on gibberellic acid-dependent alpha-amylase induction in embryoless barley seeds and on cress growth

The effects of batatasin III and its analogs on gibberellic acid (GA3)-dependent alpha-amylase induction in embryoless barley seeds and on cress root-growth were examined. Batatasin III was most effective and caused 68% inhibition of alpha-amylase induction at 4 x 10(-4) M, but its potency was low c...

Description
Summary:The effects of batatasin III and its analogs on gibberellic acid (GA3)-dependent alpha-amylase induction in embryoless barley seeds and on cress root-growth were examined. Batatasin III was most effective and caused 68% inhibition of alpha-amylase induction at 4 x 10(-4) M, but its potency was low compared with that of abscisic acid. In the cress test, p-hydroxybibenzyl had high activity
