Abstract excerpt
The diageotropica ( dgt) mutant of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is known to lack a number of typical auxin responses. Here we show that rapid auxin-induced growth of seedling hypocotyls is completely abolished by the mutation over the full range of auxin concentrations tested, and also in early phases of the time course. Protoplasts isolated from wild-type hypocotyls respond to auxin by a rapid...
