The SRP is made up of six proteins bound to a 300-nucleotide RNA, which acts as a scaffold for the hexamer.

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)
