Abstract excerpt
The gibberellin-insensitive overgrowth mutant of barley, slender, exhibits altered expression of a number of nuclear genes in comparison with the wild type. There is a particularly marked reduction in slender seedlings of transcript encoding protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (POR), the enzyme which catalyses the penultimate and only light-requiring step in chlorophyll biosynthesis. The expression of the two...
