The phytohormone gibberellin (GA) is a small, mobile signaling molecule that plays a key role in seed germination, cellular elongation, and developmental transitions in plants. Gibberellin Perception Sensor 1 (GPS1) is the first Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensor that allows monitoring of cellular GA levels in vivo. By measuring a fluorescence emission ratio of nuclear localized-GPS1 (nlsGPS1), spatiotemporal mapping of endogenously and exogenously supplied GA gradients in different tissue types is feasible at a cellular scale. This protocol will describe how to image nlsGPS1 emission ratios in three example experiments: steady-state, before-and-after exogenous gibberellin A4 (GA4) treatments, and over a treatment time-course. We also provide methods to analyze nlsGPS1 emission ratios using both Fiji and a commercial three-dimensional (3-D) micrograph visualization and analysis software and explain the limitations and likely pitfalls of using nlsGPS1 to quantify gibberellin levels.

This review discusses the research progress of regulating tree dwarfing in fruit tree rootstocks, including its definition, manifestation, mechanism and application of different rootstocks. Studies indicate that dwarfing rootstocks reduce vegetative growth while promoting reproductive growth. Compared with vigorous rootstocks, the contents of indole-3-acetic acid, cytokinin, and gibberellin in leaves is lower, while the content of abscisic acid is higher.

Seed germination is a critical step in the life cycle of plants. The far-red/red light photoreceptor phytochrome B (phyB) plays a dominant role in promoting seed germination, mainly by modulating the metabolism of gibberellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA), although the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we identified BREVIPEDICELLUS (BP)/KNAT1, a KNOX transcription factor that acted downstream of phyB and activated light-initiated seed germination in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Phytohormone gibberellins (GAs) were utilized to enhance the removal of tetracycline antibiotics and nutrients from swine wastewater by different algal-bacterial symbiosis. Compared to microalgae monoculture, microalgae-activated sludge, and microalgae-, microalgae-endophytic bacteria showed better growth, photosynthetic, and purification performance. At 50 mg L GAs addition concentration, the specific growth rate of -endophytic bacterial (S395-2) system was 0.

Bamboo usually undergoes a prolonged vegetative growth period for several decades. Additionally, not all bamboo species produce seeds, and the regulatory mechanisms governing embryogenic callus formation remain unclear, which constrains molecular breeding progress in bamboo. Here, we used buds of Bambusa changningensis Yi et B.
