“…The hormonal signals gibberellin (GA) and jasmonate (JA) regulate many aspects of plant growth, development, and defense. GA plays essential roles in promotion of plant growth and development (Ueguchi-Tanaka et al, 2007;Harberd et al, 2009;Sun, 2011;Hauvermale et al, 2012;Davière and Achard, 2013), including root growth (Fu and Harberd, 2003;Ubeda-Tomás et al, 2008), seed germination (Kahn et al, 1957;Piskurewicz et al, 2008), hypocotyl elongation (Silk and Jones, 1975), leaf expansion (Achard et al, 2009), stem elongation (Kato, 1956), flower development (Cheng et al, 2004), trichome initiation (Chien and Sussex, 1996;Gan et al, 2006;Gan et al, 2007), and in repression of plant defense (Navarro et al, 2008). The GA receptors GA-INSENSITIVE DWARF1a/b/c perceive GA signals (Griffiths et al, 2006;Murase et al, 2008) and recruit DELLA proteins, including RGA (Silverstone et al, 1997), GAI (Peng et al, 1997), RGL1 (Wen and Chang, 2002), RGL2 (Lee et al, 2002), and RGL3 (Wild et al, 2012), for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation (Willige et al, 2007;Ariizumi et al, 2008).…”
