The diageotropica gene of tomato encodes a cyclophilin: a novel player in auxin signaling.

Abstract excerpt

The single gene, auxin-resistant diageotropica (dgt) mutant of tomato displays a pleiotropic auxin-related phenotype that includes a slow gravitropic response, lack of lateral roots, reduced apical dominance, altered vascular development, and reduced fruit growth. Some auxin responses are unaltered in dgt plants, however, and the levels, metabolism, and transport of auxin appear normal, indicating that the Dgt...
