In 1926, Japanese scientists observed that rice plants infected with Gibberella had abnormally long stems ("foolish seedling disease").[1]
A substance, gibberellin , was derived from this fungus. Gibberellin is a plant hormone that promotes cell elongation, flower formation, and seedling growth.[2]
Gibberella fujikuroi Gossypium hirsutum
Pier Andrea Saccardo named the genus "Gibberella" because of the hump (Latin, gibbera ) on the fungal perithecium .[3]
