… Rice cultivation in humid regions of Japan was suffering greatly from a disease called rice seedling disease. This disease is caused by infection with a plant pathogen called Gibberella fujikuroi (sometimes called Fusarium moniliforme ), and diseased rice plants become tall (elongated), their leaves turn a pale green, and in severe cases, they die. Eiichi Kurosawa, an engineer at the Agricultural Experiment Station in Taiwan at the time, proved that there was a substance in the metabolic products of this pathogen that caused rice to elongate, and in 1938, Teijiro Yabuta and Yusuke Sumiki of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry at the University of Tokyo isolated the active substance as a crystal and named it gibberellin. … *Some of the terminology that mentions "Fusarium moniliforme" is listed below.

… 日本の湿潤な地方の稲作は,イネばか苗病という病気で大きな被害を受けていた。これはGibberella fujikuroi(Fusarium moniliformeと呼ばれることもある)という植物病原菌の感染によってひきおこされる病気で,罹病したイネは草丈が高く(徒長)なり,葉色も緑色が淡くなり,ひどい場合には枯死する。この病原菌の代謝産物の中にイネを徒長させる物質の存在することが,当時の台湾の農事試験場の技師であった黒沢英一によって証明され,1938年には東京大学農芸化学科の藪田貞治郎,住木諭介によって,活性の本体が結晶として単離され,ジベレリンと命名された。… ※「Fusarium moniliforme」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
