The gibberellin content of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) roots and green organs from (2-chloroethyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CCC)-treated seeds was equal to or even higher than in the water controls. The main difference between control and growth retardant-treated seedlings was expressed in the differential distribution of the endogenous gibberellin between its free and bound forms. © 1975 Springer-Verlag.
