The biosynthesis of gibberellins is under strict genetic, developmental, and environmental control, and numerous gibberellin-deficient mutants have been isolated.
Mendel’s tall/dwarf alleles in peas are a famous example. Such mutants have been useful in elucidating the complex pathways of gibberellin biosynthesis.
