Abstract
ALTHOUGH recent reports on the effects of gibberellic acid have dealt almost entirely with growth stimulation, attention was originally drawn to the compound because of its inhibitory as well as its stimulatory effect. Stowe and Yamaki1 reported references dealing with sterility resulting from infection by the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi (which produces the acid) but there has been no attempt to identify it with this type of effect.
