Effects of Gibberellin on Shoot Development in the dgt Mutant of Tomato

IAN M. SCOTT

Accepted: 3 December 1987   

The morphological effects of gibberellin A3 (GA3) on the dgt mutant of tomato were investigated. The mutant effectively showed the normal range of responses, including a promotion of stem length due to an increased number of longer internodes, a dramatic increase in apical dominance, and effects on leaf shape and colour. In the case of stem elongation, the quantitative response of the mutant was greater than normal. The morphological abnormalities characteristic of the dgt mutant, such as horizontal growth, a thin stem and hyponastic leaves, were not normalized by GA3.

It is concluded that the demonstrated lack of response to auxin of the dgt mutant does not impair its gibberellin responses.
