Abstract

The development and growth of plants are influenced by a variety of factors, including phytohormones with their designated roles. The process' underlying mechanism hasn't been fully explained. In practically every aspect of plant growth and development, including cell elongation, leaf expansion, leaf senescence, seed germination, and leafy head formation, gibberellins (GAs) play critical roles. Gibberellins are crucial for the precise unfolding of plant genetic programmes since they have historically been linked to a few important developmental events. Gibberellin research is attracting more and more attention as a result of its significance in the so-called "Green Revolution" and its present and potential uses in crop improvement. The GA20 oxidase genes (GA20oxs), GA3 oxidase genes (GA3oxs), and GA2 oxidase genes (GA2oxs) are essential for GA production and are correlated with bioactive GAs. Light, carbon availability, stressors, phytohormone crosstalk, and transcription factors (TFs) all have an impact on the GA content and GA biosynthesis genes. However, GA is the principal hormone involved in controlling a variety of growth and developmental processes together with BR, ABA, SA, JA, cytokinin, and auxin. The present review aims to give a thorough account of the most recent findings about the molecular biology of gibberellins and how they affect various stages of plant growth. This illustration could improve our current understanding of gibberellin biology and give us the information we need to create more precise breeding and research programmes
