Abstract excerpt
Several plant hormones, including auxin, brassinosteroids and gibberellins, are required for skotomorphogenesis, which is the etiolated growth that seedlings undergo in the absence of light. To examine the growth of abscisic acid (ABA)-deficient mutants in the dark, we analysed several aba1 loss-of-function alleles, which are deficient in zeaxanthin epoxidase. The aba1 mutants displayed a partially de-etiolated...
