Abstract
We have identified, by mutation, a novel gene involved in the regulation of shoot branching in Arabidopsis. The gene is called MORE AXILLARY DEVELOPMENT 2 (MAX2) because recessive mutation of max2 results in an increase in shoot branching. The normal gradients of branch development along the shoot axis are also disrupted. In order to better understand the role of the gene in regulating shoot branching, we propose to characterise the mutant phenotype further and to clone the gene by chromosome walking.
