Abstract
Brassinosteroids (BRs) and gibberellins (GAs) are the principal phytohormones which play their role to promote plant growth related developmental processes. Recent advancements in molecular tools have now provided a better understanding regarding the phytohormones biosynthesis, signaling, and degradation pathways. For the elaboration of signaling crosstalk and connection between BRs and GAs, different studies have been performed with the conclusion that, to control the cell elongation in Arabidopsis, signaling crosstalk between BRs and GAs is facilitated by the interaction between BZR1/BES1 and DELLA proteins which are the transcriptional activators from BR and GA signaling pathways. Furthermore, DELLA proteins along with restraining the plant growth also prevent the BZR1 transcriptional activities.
