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.
赤霉素(GA)是一种对植物生长和发育非常重要的植物激素。GA生物合成、信号转导和新陈代谢突变体对于了解GA在植物中的作用至关重要。GA 突变体也彻底改变了全球水稻、小麦和大麦等主要作物的生产。在玉米中已经分离出了 GA 突变体,对潜在基因的表征有助于绘制 GA 生物合成和信号传导途径的图谱。然而,玉米矮化突变体的数量远远少于其他物种。在这里,我们发现了新的矮小突变体,这些突变体将有助于我们了解玉米的株高控制。
