Abstract

EFFORTS have been made to investigate the growth substances in the bamboo, which is known as a plant of very speedy growth. In previous work, indolyl-3-acetic acid was shown to occur in the bamboo shoots1,2. Recently, Kato3 showed preliminary evidence of gibberellin-like substances in the shoots. This communication describes occurrences of gibberellin-like substances in both the main stems and leaf sheaths of bamboo shoots (Phyllostachys edulis).
