A schematic of crosstalk between jasmonic acid (JA) and gibberellic acid (GA) in coordination between plant growth and defense. JA and GA antagonistically interact to coordinate plant growth and defense, and the crosstalk is mediated by direct interaction between JA signaling repressors, JASMONATE ZIM-DOMAIN (JAZs), and GA signaling repressors, DELLAs. MYCs and PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORS (PIFs) indicates transcription factors responsible for transcription of JA-responsive and GA-responsive genes, respectively. The arrows and T bars indicate positive and negative regulation, respectively.
