Abstract
Mutant analysis indicates that the AXR3 gene of Arabidopsis is important in regulating responses to the plant hormone auxin. We have mapped the AXR3 gene to a 34kb region on chromosome 1 and should soon have its sequence. This project aims to continue the molecular analysis of AXR3 and to identify its biochemical function. We will use a combination of reverse and forward genetic approaches to achieve this. In particular, we have isolated a extragenic mutation (sax1-1) which can partially suppress the axr3-1 phenotype. This mutation may define a gene involved in modulating AXR3-mediated responses and this hypothesis will be tested.
