Design, Synthesis, and Biological Activity of 16,17-Dihydro Gibberellin A 5 Derivatives as Novel Plant Growth Regulators

GA3ox2 through interactions with additional amino acid residues. Interestingly, derivatives showed unexpected potential in alleviating oxidative damage caused by salt stress. This study presents a promising strategy for the development of novel gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitors as potential plant growth retardants.
