Jeffery L Gustin, Shane A Zimmerman, Martin M Sachs
TL;DR
This paper identifies new dwarf mutants in maize to better understand how plant height is controlled.
Contribution
The study introduces new dwarf mutants in maize for investigating plant height regulation.
Findings
New dwarf mutants in maize were identified.
These mutants could enhance understanding of GA pathways in plant height control.
Abstract
Gibberellic acid (GA) is a phytohormone that is important for plant growth and development. Mutants in GA biosynthesis, signaling and metabolism have been critical to understanding the role GA plays in plants. GA mutants have also revolutionized global production of staple crops such as rice, wheat, and barley. GA mutants have been isolated in maize and characterization of the underlying genes has helped map the GA biosynthesis and signaling pathways. However, the number of maize dwarf mutants is far less than other species. Here, we identify new dwarf mutants that could benefit our understanding of maize plant height control.
