Abstract
Vegetative shoots of Arizona cypress (Cupressus arizonica Greene) were found to contain an estimated 40 to 70 μg of gibberellin-like activity per kg. Based on elution patterns of silicic acid and celite partition columns, mobilities on thin layer chromatograms and specificity of the cucumber, d-3 dwarf maize, dwarf pea, and barley half seed bioassays it was possible to determine that the tissue contained at least 5 acidic, ethyl acetate-soluble gibberellin-like substances. The major one would appear to be GA3. In addition, GA9, GA4, and/or GA7-like compounds, and 2 unidentified gibberellin-like substances are present.Keywords
