Abstract
IN an earlier paper it was shown that gibberellic acid occurs in the immature seed of barley, and it was mentioned that a second gibberellin-like substance was found in the extracts1. This second substance was eluted from a charcoal : celite column with 90 per cent aqueous acetone. When chromatogrammed on paper using n-butanol–1.5 N ammonia (3 : 1) or benzene–glacial acetic acid–water (4 : 2 : 1) it had the same RF as gibberellins A4 and A7.
