Family of plant hormones associated with tissue elongation and the transition from the vegetative state to the reproductive state. Fundamental concept within plant physiology, applicable to the 4 species in the catalog. What is it It is a hormonal family associated specifically and in a well-documented way with the real elongation of plant tissue, and particularly relevant for the complete catalog, with the genuine biological transition from the active vegetative state to the considered reproductive or floral state. Where and how it was studied Where and how it was studied: Discovered when studying a fungus called Gibberella, which caused documented abnormal elongation in rice plants — it was later identified that the plant itself produces related compounds completely naturally. Why it matters for cultivation Why it matters for the crop: They are part of the real mechanism behind why a module can help the plant transition more quickly and evenly from vegetative to flowering — it doesn't just change nutrition, it activates a specific identified hormonal signal. Chemistry — molecular structure They constitute a large family of related compounds, with dozens of different gibberellins already scientifically identified, all derived directly from a basic chemical structure of the diterpene type considered within biochemistry. Molecular mechanism of action Molecular mechanism of action: They are produced in young tissues in active growth and in seeds during their germination, and their relative level within the plant influences when the genetic flowering program considered by the system is activated. Where it occurs in the plant Where it occurs in the plant: In active meristems present, and in seeds during their germination process, within the natural development cycle. Consistently present in the entire cultivated plant, without relevant variation between the species in the catalog. How it is regulated How it is regulated: Its production increases in a documented and measurable way during the active germination of legumes, a scientifically confirmed finding. It occurs dynamically according to the real conditions present at each moment of the considered crop cycle. What triggers it? What triggers it: Seed germination in an active process, and environmental signals of seasonal transition, such as changing photoperiod or variable temperature depending on the particular species. Trigger confirmed in the available specialized scientific literature. What other processes does it interact with? What other processes does it interact with: Directly with cytokinins, both present in active sprouts with complementary roles, and with the general coordination of the plant's floral transition. Consistently documented interaction. Relevant differences between species in the catalog Relevant differences between species in the catalog: The flowering trigger varies depending on the species—changing photoperiod in resin and trichomes, cold vernalization in tulip—but, once the transition is activated, gibberellins participate in the shared internal mechanism. How it is observed in practice Indirectly but consistently — considerably more even and notably faster actual transition from vegetative to visible flowering, specifically with modules that include genuine sprouts of legumes considered in the formula. What happens if there is signal deficiency What happens if there is signal deficiency: Slower floral transition over time, or unevenness between different branches of the same plant, within the active crop cycle. Consistently confirmed in field and laboratory studies. How Yolia Uses It How Yolia Uses It: It is the scientific mechanism identified and proven behind modules such as Turbo Flowering F-17 and XB-08 in the catalog — the legume sprouts used there are documented to activate gibberellin production during their germination. Common interpretation errors Applying the specific module outside the correct real window of biological transition, incorrectly expecting to obtain the same desired "turbo" effect — its real effectiveness genuinely depends on coinciding with the exact moment of authentic hormonal transition of the considered plant. Evidence and limits of current knowledge The general mechanism is consistently well established scientifically; The actual exact timing of maximum production specifically during germination genuinely varies depending on the particular conditions considered, with no documented completely precise universal standard.
