Hormone Mutants and Plant Development

  • Chapter
Plant Hormones

Abstract

Genetics is a powerful tool for studying hormones and their impact on plant development. Mutants affecting hormone biosynthesis or responses have been obtained in various plant systems by predicting phenotypes based on physiological information, by assaying hormone levels in plants with unexplained developmental defects or by selecting for resistance to hormones or their biosynthesis inhibitors. These mutants have given us greater insight into the role of hormones in a wide variety of plant developmental processes. The genes responsible for some hormone mutants have been cloned, and in several cases, the sequences of the cloned genes have provided us with a key to understanding the mechanisms of hormone action at the molecular level.
