Growth-controlling by Gibberellin Metabolism Regulators and Gibberellin Mimics

摘要

@@ Gibberellin (GA) regulates many aspects of plant growth and development, such as promoting germination, stem elongation and flower formation. Hence, GA is used in agriculture as growthcontrolling agent, and GA biosynthesis inhibitors are also used as plant growth retardants. Recently biologically active chemicals have been recognized as lead chemicals for crop protection and as important tools for analyzing functions of target molecules in plants. In this context we performed chemical screenings to find chemicals that regulate GA functions.
