Della protein function during differential growth processes in arabidopsis

GibberellinsGAs form a big family of diterpenoid compounds found in plants, fungi and bacteria of which only a few regulate plant growth.The first GA was originally isolated in 1938 as a metabolite from the rice fungal pathogen Gibberella fujikuroi (Sawada) Wollenw.Infection of plants by the fungus resulted in exaggerated stem elongation, ultimately causing the plant to fall over (Yamaguchi, 2008).Further research showed Fig I.1: Representation of predicted subcellular localization of GA metabolism enzymes and sequence or reations.
