Abstract
The phytohormone, Gibberellin (GA) has a regulatory role in seed germination, stem elongation, leaf expansion, pollen maturation, development of flowers, fruits and seeds. Crop breeding programs have increased crop productivity by introducing GA synthesis or response genes to produce high-yielding crops. Plant to plant, species to species, either plant or microbes types, and concentration of GAs vary. Researchers can estimate and identify the type of GAs by spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods.
