Abstract:SummaryThe promoting effect of gibberellin (GA) on primary-root elongation was demonstrated in several species, including Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). However, in some other species its effect is less clear.We have used the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) GA-deficient mutantsgib-1andga 20-oxidase(ga20ox1) to study the role of GA in primary-root elongation and examined the involvement of light in this response.Application of GA togib-1following germination, promoted primary-root elongation, but later, when… Show more
