Abstract Endogenous gibberellins (GAs) in the shoots of normal- (cv. Yomaki, YO) and bush-type (cv. Spacemaster, SP) cultivars of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) grown under natural conditions were analyzed. From both YO and SP grown for 40 days, after sowing, a series of C-13-H GAs including GA4, GA9, GA15, GA24, GA25, GA34, and GA51 were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS; full scan). In addition to the above GAs, GA12 and GA70 were similarly identified from both YO and SP grown for 61 days after sowing. The endogenous levels of GA4 and GA9, which are highly active in promoting cucumber hypocotyl elongation, were quantified by GC-selected ion monitoring (GC-SIM) using [2H2]GA4 and [2H4]GA9 as internal standards. No remarkable difference in terms of endogenous levels of GA4/9 was observed between YO and SP in both growth stages (40 and 61 days after sowing).
