Quick Summary

Gibberellic acid is a crystalline acid (C₁₉H₂₂O₆) that is a type of gibberellin plant hormone. Gibberellins are found in seeds, young leaves, and roots and are produced by a fungus called Gibberella fujikuroi.123

Gibberellic acid is used commercially in horticulture and gardening. It can promote stem growth, cause plants to bolt (elongate), and increase fruit size in crops like grapes. Minute applications can transform bush beans into pole beans or dwarf corn into normal corn.23

Germination
…secretes a plant hormone called gibberellic acid, which initiates the synthesis of α-amylase. The α- and β-amylases then convert the starch molecules of the corn into sugars that the embryo can use as food. Other enzymes, such as the proteases and β-glucanases, attack the cell walls around the starch grains,…
