RESUMO

Gibberellin A4 (GA4) can substitute for light in the germination of Grand Rapids lettuce seeds. Seeds imbibed in [3H]GA4 do not convert this to other GAs prior to, or immediately following, visible germination: thus GA4 alone can promote radicle expansion. Abscisic acid inhibited [3H]GA4-induced germination, but did not significantly affect [3H]GA4 uptake or metabolism during germination. 6N-benzyladenine overcame the inhibitory effect of abscisic acid and increased [3H]GA4 uptake, although radicle emergence was delayed somewhat.
