The mechanism of phytohormones in regulating the salt responses can be divided into two groups, namely, positive-related hormones (e.g., cytokinins (CKs), brassinosteroids (BRs), auxin, and gibberellins (GAs)) and stressed hormones (e.g., abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA)) (Kosova et al., 2012).

The gibberellins (GAs) are a large group of tetracyclic diterpenoid carboxylic acids, The GAs show positive effects on seed germination, leaf expansion, stem elongation, flower and trichome initiation, and flower and fruit development, They are essential for plants throughout their life cycle for growth-stimulatory functions.
