Thermo Scientific™ Gibberellic acid, GA3, ≥90%

Thermo Scientific™ Gibberellic Acid (GA₃) is a high-purity (≥90%) plant growth regulator used to promote germination, stem elongation, flowering, and fruit development in agricultural, horticultural, and research applications. This naturally occurring terpenoid compound belongs to the gibberellin family and plays a crucial role in breaking seed dormancy, enhancing plant growth, and regulating developmental processes in crops, fruits, and ornamental plants.

GA₃ is widely used in plant tissue culture, hydroponics, commercial agriculture, and plant biotechnology, ensuring optimal plant growth, yield improvement, and stress resistance. It is also a key compound in plant physiology research and is used in experiments involving hormonal regulation, genetic modification, and seed germination studies.

Use Cases & Applications

1. Agriculture & Horticulture

• Seed Germination Enhancement:
  • Breaks dormancy in difficult-to-germinate seeds (e.g., lettuce, celery, conifers).
  • Increases germination rates and seedling uniformity.
• Stem Elongation & Growth Promotion:
  • Encourages elongation in dwarf and slow-growing plants.
  • Used in strawberries, grapes, and rice to improve yield.
• Flowering & Fruit Development:
  • Stimulates fruit enlargement and uniform ripening.
  • Promotes parthenocarpy (fruit formation without fertilization) in seedless crops.

2. Hydroponics & Greenhouse Cultivation

• Boosts Growth in Controlled Environments:
  • Enhances vegetative growth in hydroponic and vertical farming systems.
  • Supports strong root and shoot development under artificial conditions.
• Improves Yield & Quality of Greenhouse Crops:
  • Applied to tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers to enhance fruit production.
  • Helps overcome nutrient uptake limitations in soilless systems.

3. Plant Biotechnology & Research

• Hormonal Regulation & Genetic Studies:
  • Used in plant physiology experiments to study hormonal interactions.
  • Helps analyze gene expression related to plant growth regulation.
• Tissue Culture & Micropropagation:
  • Supports shoot induction and plantlet regeneration in vitro.
  • Applied to banana, sugarcane, and ornamental plants in tissue culture labs.

4. Stress Tolerance & Abiotic Stress Management

• Enhances Drought & Salinity Tolerance:
  • Helps plants adapt to stress conditions by improving metabolic activity.
  • Reduces negative effects of water deficiency on crop yield.
• Recovery from Herbicide & Chemical Stress:
  • Used to counteract growth suppression caused by pesticides or environmental toxins.

Application Methods & Dosage Recommendations

Preparation of GA₃ Solution:

1. Dissolve in a small amount of ethanol or acetone (to improve solubility).
2. Dilute with distilled water to desired concentration.
3. Apply immediately for best results.
