Description
Mode of Action
Gibberellic acid (GA) is a plant hormone that promotes growth and development. GA acts on a variety of target genes, which leads to a number of different effects on plant growth and development. One of the main effects of GA is to stimulate cell elongation. GA does this by binding to receptors on the surface of cells. This binding activates a signalling pathway that leads to the production of enzymes that break down the cell wall. This allows the cells to expand, which leads to an increase in plant height. GA also stimulates the production of new cells. This is important for plant growth because it allows the plant to add new tissues to its body. GA also promotes the development of flowers and fruits.
