Plant growth substance (see also auxin) that
mainly promotes stem growth but may also
affect the breaking of dormancy in certain
buds and seeds, and the induction of
flowering. Application of gibberellin can
stimulate the stems of dwarf plants to
additional growth, delay the ageing process
in leaves, and promote the production of
seedless fruit (parthenocarpy).
