Abstract: Let $G$ be a semisimple linear algebraic group over a field $k$ and let $G^{+}(k)$ be the subgroup generated by the subgroups $R_u(Q)(k)$, where $Q$ ranges over all the minimal $k$-parabolic subgroups $Q$ of $G$. We prove that if $G^{+}(k)$ is bounded then it is uniformly bounded. Under extra assumptions we get explicit bounds for $Delta(G^{+}(k))$: we prove that if $k$ is algebraically closed then $Delta(G^{+}(k))leq4,mrank,G$, and if $G$ is split over $k$ then $Delta(G^{+}(k))leq28,mrank,G$. We deduce some analogous results for real and complex semisimple Lie groups.
