Abstract excerpt
A novel Arabidopsis thaliana mutant, named hoc, was found to have an high organogenic capacity for shoot regeneration. The HOC locus may be involved in cytokinin metabolism leading to cytokinin-overproduction. In vitro, hoc root explants develop many shoots in the absence of exogenous growth regulators. The mutant displays a bushy phenotype with supernumerary rosettes and with normal phyllotaxy, resulting from...
