Gibberellins: Regulators of Plant Height and Seed Germination GA levels in plants are correlated with stem length. Play role in seed germination, transition to flowering, and pollen development.

Figure 20.17 Opposite effects of two different mutations in the same SLN1 repressor gene GA signals the degradation of negative regulators, e.g. the degradation of DELLA proteins. Sln1c loss-of-function. Mutated in GRAS domain; unable to repress GA responsive genes even in the absence of GA. Sln1d gain-of-function. Mutation in DELLA domain prevents the repressor protein from being degraded. PP5e-Fig-20-17-0.jpg
