Abstract :
ABSTRACT Gibberellic acid (GA3) is known as important plant growth regulators which are also considered to induce various physiological responses in plants, which is unduly suited for improving and stimulating, photosynthetic activity, and plant growth. Gibberellic acid, a tetracyclic di-terpenoid compound which is known as a plant hormone stimulating plant growth and development. Gibberellins may have an important function in different metabolic pathways influencing several characteristics, such as nitrogen redistribution, nitrogen metabolism, translocation of assimilates, chlorophyll production and degradation. This review article aims to provide an overview of the effects of gibberellic acid on yield and yield components of wheat and survey of different mechanisms of action of gibberellic acid in different plants. The keywords searches for gibberellic acid, wheat, root growth, gibberellin, plant hormone, and plant growth were performed by using PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science.
