Abstract excerpt
In a screen for morphological mutants from the T1 generation of approximately 50 000 activation-tagging lines, we isolated four dominant mutants that showed hyponastic leaves, downward-pointing flowers and decreased apical dominance. We designated them isoginchaku (iso). The iso-1D and iso-2D are allelic mutants caused by activation of the AS2 gene. The T-DNAs were inserted in the 3' downstream region of AS2....
