| Targets |
Gibberellic acid targets the gibberellin receptor in plants, which is involved in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development, including stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering. By binding to the gibberellin receptor, gibberellic acid activates downstream signaling pathways that promote cell division and elongation. The compound is a plant growth regulating hormone.

| ln Vitro |
Gibberellic acid can aid in preventing cold stress in chickpea seedlings. Gibberellic acid (10–20 μM) helps seeds retain low electrolyte leakage and high relative water content while also increasing the final emergence probability (FEP) [2]. After treating Echinacea hairy roots with gibberellic acid (0.025 μM), the hairy root cultures' PAL activity, cell survival, and free radical scavenging activity all enhanced. Gibberellic acid promotes the growth of hairy roots and maximizes the generation of secondary metabolites in Echinacea hairy root cultures [3]. br/
Gibberellic acid promotes rapid stem and root growth, induces mitotic division, and initiates (breaks dormancy) and increases seed germination rates. Its activity can be assessed in various plant bioassays, including seed germination assays, stem elongation assays, and leaf growth assays. The compound's effects on plant growth and development are concentration-dependent. |
| ln Vivo |
For 25 days, rats were given unlimited access to drinking water containing 75 ppm ABA and GA3. Each rat's PGR intake was roughly 2.2 mg per day [5]. Gibberellic acid (2.2 mg/rat/day; po) can alter the antioxidant system in different rat tissues and increase the amount of lipid peroxides [5].
Gibberellic acid is used in vivo as a plant growth regulator in agriculture, horticulture, and research. It promotes internode elongation and breaks certain dormancies in seeds. It can induce flowering in some plant species. Gibberellic acid is used to trigger germination in dormant seeds in laboratory and greenhouse settings and to stimulate rapid stem and root growth. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for gibberellic acid are limited as it is a plant hormone that acts through receptor-mediated signaling rather than through enzyme inhibition. Its binding affinity for the gibberellin receptor can be assessed using radioligand binding studies with plant receptor preparations. The compound's physicochemical properties can be characterized using standard analytical techniques.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for gibberellic acid involve treating plant cell cultures or tissue explants with the compound and measuring its effects on cell growth and differentiation. Cell elongation is assessed by measuring cell length, and cell division is assessed by counting mitotic figures. The compound's effects on gene expression can be evaluated using qPCR or RNA-seq.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo plant experiments with gibberellic acid are conducted in various plant species to assess its effects on growth and development. Plants are treated with gibberellic acid via foliar spray, seed treatment, or root application, and parameters such as stem length, leaf area, seed germination rate, and flowering time are measured. The compound's efficacy and optimal application rates are determined in these studies.

| Additional Infomation |
Gibberellin is a white powder. (NTP, 1992)
Gibberellin A3 is a C19-gibberellin, belonging to the pentacyclic diterpenoid class of compounds responsible for promoting plant cell growth and elongation. It was initially discovered in Gibberella fujikuroi and differs from gibberellin A1 in the presence of a double bond between C-3 and C-4. It is a metabolite found in both plants and mice. It is a lactone, gibberellin monocarboxylic acid, an organic heteropentacyclic compound, and a C19-gibberellin. It is the conjugate acid of gibberellin A3(1-). Gibberellin has been reported in Fusarium fujikuroi, soybean, and other organisms with relevant data. Mechanism of Action Gibberellin enhances the activity of guanylate cyclase in rat lungs, an enzyme associated with growth. Gibberellin exhibits androgenic activity in chicks. Gibberellic acid (GA3; CAS 77-06-5) is an important plant growth hormone that promotes plant cell growth and elongation. It promotes internode elongation and breaks certain dormancies in seeds. Gibberellic acid is used in agriculture, horticulture, and research to regulate plant growth and development. The compound is available from various commercial suppliers for research and agricultural applications. |
