RESUMO
The transport of 3H-GA1 through hypocotyl segments of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) was found to be nonpolar. The transport of 3H-GA1 was increased by pretreatment with relatively high concentrations of either IAA or Ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid). Hypocotyl segments from plants of a gynoecious genotype transported more 3H-GA1 than those of an androecious. The metabolism of 3H-GA1 in hypocotyl segments was neither related to the sex genotype of the cucumber plant nor influenced by pretreatment with Ethephon. The primary metabolite of GA1 was suggested to be GA8. Two other suspected metabolites were not identified. Differences in the endogenous GA of gynoecious and androecious plants could not be accounted for by transport differences.
