Gibberellins are plant hormones that regulate growth and influence various developmental processes, including stem elongation, germination, dormancy, flowering, sex expression, enzyme induction and leaf and fruit senescence. It was first recognized in 1926 by a Japanese scientist, Elichi Kurosawa, studying 'bakane', the 'foolish seedling' disease in rice. It was first isolated in 1935 by Teijiro Yabuta and Sumuki, from fungal strains (Gibberella fujikori) provided by Kurosawa. Yabuta named the isolate as gibberellin.
