Abstract
GIBBERELLINS of fungal and higher plant origin are now widely used in experimental plant physiology, and are known to produce a great variety of effects on the growth and development of many different plants1. With very few exceptions, the effects noted are promotive, even high concentrations of gibberellins being relatively non-toxic, to both plants and animals2. The results to be reported in this communication, demonstrating an inhibition of nodule formation in dwarf beans, are therefore of interest.
