Abstract excerpt
The dominant axr2-1 mutation of Arabidopsis thaliana confers resistance to the plant hormones auxin, ethylene, and abscisic acid. In addition, axr2-1 has pleiotropic effects on plant morphology which include gravitropic defects in roots, hypocotyls and inflorescences of axr2-1 plants. Two genetic screens were conducted to isolate new mutations at the AXR2 locus. First, axr2-1 pollen was gamma-irradiated, crossed...
