Gibberellic acid  (Synonyms: Gibberellin A3)

Cat. No.: HY-N1964 Purity: 99.26%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is a natural plant growth regulator with oral bioactivity. Gibberellic acid governs multiple plant developmental events, including seed germination, cell elongation, floral organ formation, and rice spikelet fertility. Gibberellic acid optimizes root morphology and secondary metabolite production in Echinacea purpurea hairy roots, and serves as a bioactive seed priming agent to improve chilling stress tolerance in chickpea. Gibberellic acid mediates modulation of enzyme activity and secondary metabolism in plants and exerts tissue-specific regulatory effects on antioxidant systems and lipid peroxidation in rats. Gibberellic acid can be used in studies of plant growth, metabolism, and abiotic stress responses.

In Vitro

Gibberellic acid (GA3) (0.005-1.0 μM; 50 days) maximally enhances biomass, cell viability, secondary metabolite production (cichoric acid, caftaric acid, chlorogenic acid, lignin, anthocyanins), PAL activity, and free radical scavenging activity in light-grown Echinacea purpurea hairy root cultures, while 0.005 μM and 1.0 μM reduce these parameters relative to the 0.025 μM group[2].
Gibberellic acid maintains rice spikelet fertility and anther/pollen development by mediating SLR1 repressor degradation to activate GAMYB and downstream male reproductive genes, while GA deficiency induced by low temperature or GA signaling mutation impairs pollen development and results in male sterility and reduced spikelet fertility in rice[3].
Gibberellic acid (5-20 μM; continuous low-temperature stress treatment) improves stand establishment, shoot/root growth, relative water content, chlorophyll retention, and flower/branch formation, and reduces electrolyte leakage in both chilling-tolerant Çağatay and chilling-sensitive Akçin chickpea cultivars under low-temperature stress[4].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.01 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.01 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
