Application of gibberellic acid to the apex of dwarf bean plants (cv. Alabaster) stimulated the elongation growth of epicotyl and hypocotyl but showed no significant effect on elongation growth in a normal cultivar (‘Blue Lake’). Gibberellin‐treatment of dwarf plants was characterized by about twofold increase in the level of endogenous auxin. Maximum increase in IAA level was observed after 48 h of GA treatment. There was less increase in IAA content in normal bean plants. — Gibberellin treatment to excised epicotyl and hypocotyl sections of either dwarf or normal cultivar showed no effect on elongation growth. However, a considerable increase in the auxin level was observed in the sections of the dwarf cultivar. The maximum effect occurred with only 1 h incubation in basal medium containing gibberellin. — The indolo‐α‐pyrone spectro‐fluoremetric method for IAA determination was used.
