Regulation of Gibberellin Biosynthesis:  The present                    proposal identified three primary objectives to elucidate the                   sites of biosynthesis of the plant hormone, gibberellic acid                    and how the biosynthesis is regulated: 1) to determine the                      capacity of cell free enzyme systems derived from various                       tissues and organs of pea seedlings to synthesize the hormone;                  2) to characterize the mixed function oxidases affecting the                    intermediates, kaurene, kaurenol and kaurenoic acid; and 3) to                  investigate the stimulation of gibberellin synthesis by light                   in the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi.                                                                                                                             The regulation of levels of the phytohormone by localization of                 synthesis, by inhibition or enhancement of enzyme activities                    and by modulation of enzyme biosynthesis controls plant growth                  and development.  The knowledge will be useful for manipulating                 plants to make them higher yielding, easier to germinate, more                  attractive and more predictable in terms of flowering and fruit                 setting.
