The seedlings of <em>Pharbitis nil</em>, a sesitive short-day plant (SDP), were cultivated under special photoperiodic conditions: 72-h-long darkness, 24-h-long white light with low intensity, 24-h-long inductive night. During 24-h-long inductive darkness the total content of gibberellins in cotyledons underwent fluctuations with a maximum at 0 h and 8 h, and a decrease at the end of the dark period. FR light applied at the end of the 24-h-long white-light period inhibited flowering. R light flash and partially exogenous GA3 added on cotyledons could reverse the effect of FR. The seedling growth was not affected by FR and R light irradiation, but was promoted by exogenous GA3 application. The obtained results suggest that gibberellins are involved in photoperiodic control of SDP <em>P. nil</em> flowering. This involvement has nothing in common with participation of gibberellins in the control of the elongation growth of seedlings.
