Gibberellin A4
Gibberellin A4 (CAS: 468-44-0; Formula: C19H24O5; MW: 332.39) is a vital plant growth hormone. It plays a crucial role in promoting cell growth, elongation, and mitotic division. This compound is also instrumental in initiating seed germination and breaking dormancy. Gibberellin A4 is essential for various agricultural and plant biotechnology applications, contributing to enhanced plant development and yield.
Plant Growth Regulation
Gibberellin A4 is a key phytohormone that stimulates rapid stem and root growth. It influences cell elongation and promotes mitotic division, essential processes for plant development. This regulator is also effective in breaking seed dormancy and increasing germination rates.
Plant Tissue Culture Supplement
This compound can be used as a supplement in plant growth media, such as Murashige and Skoog media. Its addition supports enhanced cell proliferation and differentiation in in vitro plant cultures. The specific effects of Gibberellin A4 should be validated for particular plant species and applications.
Agricultural Research
Gibberellin A4 is utilized in agricultural research to study and manipulate plant growth characteristics. It aids in understanding processes like gravitropism, tensioning, and floral display, contributing to the development of improved crop varieties and cultivation techniques.

| Application | Gibberillic acids (GA) are important plant growth hormones that promote plant cell growth and elongation. Gebberillins promote rapid stem and root growth, induce mitotic division and initiate (break dormancy) and increase seed germination rates. The gibberellins are also involved in processes such as gravitropism, tensioning and floral display.Gibberellin A3 (G1025, G7645) and A4 (G7276) may be used as supplements to plant growth media such as Murashige and Skoog media. The specific actions of A3 and A4 or combinations of Gebberellins should be determined in specific plant applications. |
