Gibberellins Enhance Cell Wall Extensibility without Acidification.

Enzyme Expansins and Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET) is involved in gibberellin-promoted wall extension. The function of XET may be to facilitate the penetration of expansins into the cell wall.

Three main classes of mutations affecting plant height have

been selected:

1. Gibberellin-insensitive dwarfs

2. Gibberellin-deficient mutants in which the gibberellin deficiency has been overcome by a second “suppressor” mutation, so the plants look closer to normal

3. Mutants with a constitutive gibberellin response (“slender” mutants)

GAI and RGA proteins normally act as repressors of gibberellin responses. Gibberellin acts indirectly through an unidentified signaling intermediate, which is thought to bind to the regulatory domains of the GAI and RGA Proteins.
