Abstract
The elongation response of 17 near-isogenic dwarf lines of the Shiokar i rice cultivar to gibberellins (GAs) was examined. Two strains, ID-18 h and ID-19, were selected for further analysis of their endogenous GA levels. It is suggested that ID-18h dwarfism is caused by the deficie ncy of GA 3 beta-hydroxylation activity, and ID-19 dwarfism by the ins ensitivity of the elongation response to physiologically active GAs.
