Abstract
During the first few hours of ageing, discs of Jerusalem artichoke tubers produce a stimulator of invertase synthesis, which can be detected in the ageing medium. Gibberellin-like substances, undetectable in extracts of freshly wounded tubers, are present in significant amounts after ageing. Tubers stored at 4 °C before wounding produce considerably more gibberellin than those stored at 20 °C. It is suggested that the stimulator observed is a gibberellin.Keywords
