GA-responsive elements

GA-responsive elements are specific sequences found in the DNA of plants that act like signals. They help regulate gene activity in response to gibberellins, which are plant hormones that promote growth like stem elongation and seed germination. When gibberellins are present, these elements enable certain genes to turn on or off, coordinating the plant's development processes. Think of them as detailed instructions embedded in the plant's genetic code, ensuring the plant responds appropriately to hormonal cues for healthy growth.
