Fruit set and development are affected by many phytohormones,including gibberellin.Little is known regarding molecular mechanism underlying gibberellin mediated fruit set and development especially in Capsicum.Three gibberellin receptors,CaGID1b.1,CaGID1b.2 and CaGID1c,and a DELLA protein,CaGAl,have been identified in Capsicum annuum L.During the fruit development,the expression level of CaGIDIc was low,and the expression fold change is mild.However,CaGID1b.1 and CaGID1b.2 were relatively higher and more acute,which indicates that CaGID1b.1 and CaGID1b.2 may play an important role in fruit pericarp,placenta and seed.Ectopic expressions of CaGID1b.1,CaGID1b.2 and CaGID1c in Arabidopsis double mutant gid1a gid1c increased plant height,among which CaGID1b.2 had the most significant effect;CaGAl reduced plant height in double mutant rga-24/gai-t6,having a similar function to AtGID1 and AtGA1 in stem elongation.Yeast two-hybrid(Y2H)and bimoiecuiar fluorescence complementation(BiFC)assays indicated that CaGID1b.1and CaGID1b.2 interact with CaGAl in a GA-dependent manner,while CaGID1c interacts with CaGAl in a GA-independent manner.Our study reveals the key elements during gibberellin signaling in Capsicum and supports the critical importance of gibberellin for Capsicum fruit set and development.

Little is known about molecular mechanism underlying gibberellin mediated fruit set and development especially in Capsicum.Three gibberellin receptors, CaGID1b.1, CaGID1b.2 and CaGID1c, and a DELLA protein, CaGAl , have been identified in Capsicum annuum L. During the fruit development, the expression level of CaGIDIc was low, and the expression fold change is mild. However, CaGID1b.1 and CaGID1b.2 were relatively higher and more acute, which indicates that CaGID1b .1 and CaGID1b.2 may play an important role in fruit pericarp, placenta and seed. Extracted expressions of CaGID1b.1, CaGID1b.2 and CaGID1c in Arabidopsis double mutant gid1a gid1c increased plant height, among which CaGID1b.2 had the most significant effect; CaGA1 reduced plant height in double mutant rga-24 / gai-t6, having a similar function to AtGID1 and AtGA1 stem elongation. Lateast two- hybrid (Y2H) and bimoieciumar fluorescence complementation dicated that CaGID1b.1 and CaGID1b.2 interact with CaGA1 in a GA-dependent manner, while CaGID1c interacts with CaGA1 in a GA-independent manner.
