The influence of blue, red and white light and gibberellic acid (GA3) on gibberellin-like activity in tissue extracts of leaves, stems and roots was investigated during growth of pea seedlings (Pisum salivum L. cv. Bördi). Higher GA-like activity was found in leaves and stems of pea plants that were growing in blue light than in those under red or white light. Patterns of change of activity were different in leaves, stems and roots, and in GA3-treated plants.
