Abstract excerpt
DELLA proteins are members of the plant-specific GRAS family, acting as negative regulators of plant growth. In this study, we identified two DELLA protein-coding genes in litchi, denoted as LcGAI and LcRGL1. Motif analysis showed that LcGAI and LcRGL1 proteins both contain a conserved DELLA and TVHYNP motif at the N-terminus as well as LHR1, VHIID, LHR2, PFYRE, and SAW motifs at the C terminus. The fused...
