Abstract
The modified gibberellins, 16-methyl-16,17-dihydro-GA(5), 16,17-methano-16, 17-dihydro-Gh(5), 16,17-methano-16,17-dihydro-GA(3) and several halogenated derivatives of 16,17-methano-16,17-dihydro-GA(3) and GA(5) were prepared a nd tested for bioregulating properties in Lolium temulentum. The effects ra nged from the promotion of both stem elongation and flowering, the promotio n of flowering but not elongation, and vice versa, the inhibition of stem e longation combined with the promotion of flowering, and the inhibition of b oth.
