TLDR
New GA response mutants provided information about how signaling components are involved in feedback regulation of the GA biosynthetic pathway and manipulation of the pathway by modifying the expression of these genes in transgenic plants.
Abstract
The hormone gibberellin (GA) plays an essential role in many aspects of plant growth and development, such as seed germination, stem elongation and flower development. In recent years, exciting progress has been made in understanding how the biosynthesis of this hormone is regulated by endogenous and environmental factors. This has resulted from isolation of genes encoding enzymes involved in GA biosynthesis and metabolism, which also enabled us to manipulate the pathway by modifying the expression of these genes in transgenic plants. In addition, new GA response mutants provided information about how signaling components are involved in feedback regulation of the GA biosynthetic pathway.

Gibberellin Biosynthesis and Response during Arabidopsis Seed Germination

TL;DR: In situ hybridization analysis demonstrated that the expression of GA-responsive genes is not restricted to the predicted site of GA biosynthesis, suggesting that GA itself, or GA signals, is transmitted across different cell types during Arabidopsis seed germination.

Molecular mechanism of gibberellin signaling in plants

TL;DR: Evidence indicates that the DELLA proteins are targeted for degradation by an E3 ubiquitin ligase SCF complex through the ubiquitIn-26S proteasome pathway.

1-Deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate Synthase, a Limiting Enzyme for Plastidic Isoprenoid Biosynthesis in Plants

TL;DR: The results suggest that in plastids the pool of isopentenyl diphosphate is limiting to isprenoid production, and this enzyme catalyzes one of the rate-limiting steps of the MEP biosynthetic pathway.
