| Abstract | Gibberellins (GAs) are involved in regulation of many aspects during plant development. To investigate the impact of altered GA levels on plant growth and metabolism, transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants have been engineered to express either a GA20-oxidase (AtGA20-ox) or a GA2-oxidase (AtGA2-ox) gene from Arabidopsis under control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Resulting plants were characterized by elongated or stunted shoot growth, respectively, indicating changes in the content of bioactive GAs. In accordance with the effect on plant growth, biomass production was increased or decreased in AtGA20-ox or AtGA2-ox plants, respectively, and was found to be positively correlated with the rate of photosynthesis as determined at the whole plant level. Differences in dry matter accumulation were most likely due to changes in lignin deposition as indicated by histochemical staining and quantitative measurements. Altered lignification of transgenic plants was paralleled by up- or down-regulation of the expression of lignin biosynthetic genes. Short-term GA3 feeding of excised petioles induced lignin formation in the absence of a transcriptional activation of pathway-specific genes. Thus, short-term GA treatment mediates lignin deposition most likely by polymerization of preformed monomers, whereas long-term effects on lignification involve elevated production of precursors by transcriptional stimulation of the biosynthetic pathway. Interestingly, analysis of stem cross sections revealed a differential effect of GA on the formation of xylem and pith cells. The number of lignified vessels was increased in AtGA20-ox plants pointing to a stimulation of xylem formation while the number of pith cells declined indicating a negative regulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
