Abstract excerpt
Bioactive gibberellins (GAs) are central regulators of plant growth and development, including seed development. GA homeostasis is achieved via complex biosynthetic and catabolic pathways, whose exact activities remain to be elucidated. Here, we isolated two cDNAs from mature or imbibed cucumber seeds with high sequence similarity to known GA 3-oxidases. We found that one enzyme (designated here CsGA3ox5) has GA...
