Gibberellin-Induced Changes in Starch Content in Isolated Chloroplasts of Light-Grown Cucumber Hypocotyls

Haruko Kazama and Masayuki Katsumi

Department of Biology, International Christian University Mitaka, Tokyo 181, Japan

Gibberellin A3 (GA3) was found to reduce the starch content in chloroplasts isolated from light-grown cucumber (cv. Aonagajibai) hypocotyls. Chloroplasts incubated with 50 mM sucrose showed an increase in starch content. The GA3-induced reduction occurred both in the presence and absence of exogenous sucrose. GA3 had no effect on the level of starch already formed from exogenous sucrose.
