Genetic manipulation of plant growth and development by regulating gibberellin biosynethesis

Gibberellins (GAs) are endogenous plant hormones that control key aspects of growth and development such as seed germination, shoot growth, flower induction and development, and fruit expansion. Chemical growth regulators that modify GA biosynthesis are used extensively in horticulture to modify pla...
