Abstract
Endogenous gibberellins were measured in extracts of ‘Red Pontiac’ potato tubers sampled during tuber ontogeny. Stolons contained high levels of activity and developing tubers low activity, as indicated by elongation in the dwarf pea and maize mutant bioassays. However, dilution of the extracts of young tubers revealed that low gibberellin-like activity may have been due to the presence of an inhibitor. Based on co-chromatography this inhibitor was found not to be abscisic acid nor did abscisic acid induce tuber formation after treatment of the intact plant, treatment of the developing stolons or after addition to potato stolons grown in tissue culture medium.
