KUROSAWA detected that the reason for this abnormal growth is a substance that is secreted by a parasitic fungi (Fusarium moniliforme = Gibberella fujikuroi). It was termed gibberellin. During the thirties was gibberellin isolated and crystallized by Japanese scientists from Tokyo (YABUTA and SUMIKI )‚ though it was almost forgotten in the following years. In 1956
