The tetracyclic diterpenoid carboxylic acids, gibberellins (GAs), orchestrate a broad spectrum of biological programs. In nature, GAs or GA-like substance is produced in bacteria, fungi, and plants. The function of GAs in microorganisms remains largely unknown. Phytohormones GAs mediate diverse growth and developmental processes through the life cycle of plants. The GA biosynthetic and metabolic pathways in bacteria, fungi, and plants are remarkably divergent. In vascular plants, phytohormone GA, receptor GID1, and repressor DELLA shape the GA-GID1-DELLA module in GA signaling cascade. Sequence reshuffling, functional divergence, and adaptive selection are main driving forces during the evolution of GA pathway components. The GA-GID1-DELLA complex interacts with second messengers and other plant hormones to integrate environmental and endogenous cues, which is beneficial to phytohormones homeostasis and other biological events. In this review, we first briefly describe GA metabolism pathway, signaling perception, and its second messengers. Then, we examine the evolution of GA pathway genes. Finally, we focus on reviewing the crosstalk between GA-GID1-DELLA module and phytohormones. Deciphering mechanisms underlying plant hormonal interactions are not only beneficial to addressing basic biological questions, but also have practical implications for developing crops with ideotypes to meet the future demand.
