Changes in the contents of endogenous gibberellins (GAs) were examined in three kinds of cultured tobacco cells; a crown gall cell and two cultured cells derived from normal tissue of Nicotiana tabacum. The relative amounts of the GAs were analyzed by systematic chromatographic purifications followed by GC-SIM. In all the cell lines examined, the content of GAj was the highest during the logarithmic phase of growth, indicating that GA1 has a physiological role in the growth of dedifferentiated cells.
