9. The inhibition of GA biosynthesis is also very important. Thus, for example, the semidwarf (sd-1) "green revolution" rice contains a defective gibberellin 20-oxidase gene that retards in vivo production of the relevant GAs - see: (a) Sasaki, A.; Ashikari, M.; Ueguchi-Tanaka, M.; Itoh, H.; Nishimura, A.; Swapan, D.; Ishiyama, K.; Saito, T.; Kobayashi, M.; Khush, G.
