Abstract excerpt
The gibberellin (GA) 2-oxidase (PcGA2ox1) from bean catalyses the 2beta-hydroxylation of some precursor and bioactive GAs resulting in their inactivation. We have expressed PcGA2ox1 under the control of the estrogen receptor-based chemical-inducible system, XVE, to modify plant architecture and assess whether transgene expression is localised. Applications of estradiol to the shoot apical region of inducible...
