    Product Description

    Gibberellin A1 is a plant hormone that has been found in Phaseolus multiflorus and has growth stimulatory activities.1,2,3 It reverses inhibition of spinach stem elongation induced by the plant growth retardants AMO-1618 or BX-112 (prohexadione; Item No. 33922).2 Gibberellin A1 increases hypocotyl, but not radicle, growth of cucumber seedlings when used at concentrations of 30 and 100 µM.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
