TL;DR: Results are consistent with the view that ABA is the primary effector of dormancy and that after-ripening involves the development of the ability to reduce the amount of ABA quickly following hydration.

TL;DR: Gibberellins A(1), A(3), and iso-A(3) were identified from aseptic cultures of Azospirillum lipoferum strain op 33 by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC-MS-selected ion monitoring.

TL;DR: Polyclar AT, an insoluble form of poly- N -vinylpyrrolidone is highly effective in purification of gibberellin-like substances in plant extracts, presumably by selective removal of phenolic compounds and perhaps other organic acids as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The activities of gibberellins A1–A15, A17–A27 and A8-glucoside are compared, using original and previously published data, in the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) aleurone α-amylase, Progress No. 9 dwarf pea, lettuce, cucumber, and 'Tan-ginbozu' dwarf rice bioassays.

TL;DR: Results indicate that both components of shade light can influence the levels of a wide range of endogenous hormones in internodes and leaves while evoking increased internode elongation and biomass accumulation, and it is light quality changes (FR enrichment) which are most closely tied to increased hormone content, and especially with increased GA and IAA levels.
