Fungal Gibberellin Production

  • Chapter
Biotechnology of Vitamins, Pigments and Growth Factors

Part of the book series: Elsevier Applied Biotechnology Series ((APBISE))

Abstract

Micro-organisms are capable of producing a series of plant growth regulators such as gibberellins, auxines, abscisic acid, ethylene, fusicoccin, jasmonic acid, etc., but only the microbiological production of gibberellins is of industrial importance. The story of the identification of gibberellins as a plant growth regulator is a classic example of the interactions between soil micro-organisms and plants. It is well known that gibberellins were first obtained from culture filtrates of the soil fungus Gibberella fujikuroi (Saw.) Wr. (Fusarium moniliforme Sheld). In Japan and other Far East countries this plant-pathogenic fungus is one of the most important pathogens of rice. When it attacks rice seedlings an early disease symptom is a superelongation of the shoots, which are more pale in colour than normal shoots. Farmers have called them bakanae or ‘foolish seedlings’. After growing very rapidly, infected plants die. The disease was a serious cause of rice destruction in Japan during the last century.
