Abstract
Gibberellicacid-induced dark germination of Grand Rapids lettude seed was completely inhibited by 6-azauracil and partly by 2-thiouracil. Other inhibitors of nucleic acid and protein synthesis used were without effect. Inhibition of gibberellic acid-induced dark germination was reversed by uracil but not by thymine, deoxycytidine and orotic acid. The results suggest that gibberellic acid-induced dark germination is dependent on RNA synthesis and not on DNA synthesis.Keywords
