Optimizing plant architecture is an efficient approach for breeders to adapt crops to changing environmental conditions and potentially to improve yields to meet the demands of a growing global population. Plant height and shoot branching play crucial roles in determining plant architecture, and they are mainly regulated by phytohormones, including brassinosteroids (BRs) and gibberellins (GAs).
