Summary
Extremely high concentration of pool type of gibberellins (GAs) which was detected by the Tan-ginbozu dwarf rice assay was found to be localized in the uppermost internodes of submerged and non-submerged floating rice plants. However, the level of the blologically active type of GAS which was detected by the Waito-C dwarf rice assay was higher in the internodes of the submerged plants than in those of the non-submerged ones. Amounts of GAS in leaves were also found to be higher in the submerged plants than in the non-submerged ones.
