CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -As well as being phytohormones, gibberellins (GAs) are present in some fungi and bacteria. Indeed, GAs were first discovered in the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi, from which gibberellic acid (GA3) and other GAs are produced commercially.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gibberellins producing endophytic fungi have been vital for promoting plant growth under normal and stress conditions. We report P. spadiceum AGH786 as the ever first GAs producing basidiomycetous fungus capable of producing six types of GAs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gibberellin was first recognized in 1926 by a Japanese scientist, Elichi Kurosawa studying bakane, the ‘foolish seedling disease’ in rice. It was first isolated in 1935 by Teijiro Yabuta and Sumuki from fungal strains provided by Kurosawa from Gibberella fujikori.

Detailed explanation-4: -The source of gibberellins in the parthenocarpic development of ovaries on topped pea plants. Planta.
