This research aims to study the effect of Gebbrilin compounds, specially
GA٣, on the percentage of germination of seeds in different concentrations and
duration, Also the effect of this compound on the growth of the root cells and so
on the cellul
ar division.
It was observed from the results that these compounds had an evident effect
on the degree of germination within the low concentration, but it has an
opposition effect in the high concentrations. The results concerning the growth
of the roots are analogous to those of the germination results. An obvious
difference was in the reaction of wheat and barley to the different
concentrations of GA٣.
For the mitotic index no differences were observed compared to the control.
