Gibberellin (GA) is collectively referred to a group of diterpenoid acids, some of which act as plant hormones and are essential for normal plant growth and de- velopment. DNA microarray technology has become the standard tool for the parallel quantification of large numbers of messenger RNA transcripts. The power of this approach has been demonstrated in dissecting plant physiology and develop- ment, and in unraveling the underlying cellular signaling pathways. To understand the molecular mechanism by whic...

Introduction Gibberellin (GA) is considered to control diverse growth and developmental processes, including seed germination, stem elongation, and flower develop- ment (1). Despite its complexity, the GA biosyn- thetic pathway has been well characterized
