Abstract

(a) Molecular cloning of GAI (b) Molecular characterisation of gai , Analysis of gai gene expression, (d) Analysis of the function of the gai gene product, (e) Isolation of gai homologues from plant species other than Arabidopsis. Gibberellins play a major role in the regulation of plant growth. Gibberellin sensitivity mutants of modern, high- yielding wheat varieties. Here we are cloning and characterising the gai (gibberellin insensitivity ) locum of Arabidopsis and this may, in time, permit the cloning of the Rht loci of wheat.
