Inhibition of Early Steps in the Gibberellin-Activated Synthesis of α-Amylase

Abstract
Subsequent production of amylase is severely inhibited if barban [4-chloro-2-butynyl N-(3-chlorophenyl) carbamate] is added to embryo-free half seeds of barley within 4 to 5 hours after gibberellic acid treatment of these seeds. Thirty to 50 mg/L concentrations of barban are effective. Barban inhibition is non-competitive with respect to gibberellic acid. Addition of barban 7 hours or more after gibberellic acid treatment is almost without effect.
