Description

[2H2]Gibberellin A24 (GA24) and [2H4]-GA9 were applied to the apices of normal-type cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Yomaki) seedlings treated with uniconazole, an inhibitor of GA biosynthesis. The metabolites from these feeds were identified by full-scan gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to confirm the conversions of [2H2]GA24 to [2H2]GA9 and of [2H4]GA9 to [2H4]GA4. The results show that GA4 is biosynthesized from GA24 via GA9. In a cucumber hypocotyl elongation bioassay using cv. Yomaki, prohexadione (DOCHC), an inhibitor of 2-oxoglutaratedependent dioxygenase, inhibited the hypocotyl elongation caused by application of GA9, while DOCHC enhanced the elongation caused by application of GA4. These results indicate that GA4 is a physiologically active GA and that the activity of GA9 is due to its conversion to GA4 in cucumber shoots.
