Comparative transcriptomics reveals conserved components of gibberellin signalling between model and crop plants
Description:
The phytohormone gibberellin (GA) is a central regulator of plant growth and development. The modulation of GA biosynthesis or signalling is used in plant breeding to control agronomic traits, predominantly for the control of plant height. It is however understood that GA also controls many other aspects of plant growth. How the individual responses are regulated downstream from GA is unclear. Our project is based on the results of a comparative GA transcriptome analysis. We now propose to examine and characterize a large set of conserved target genes and to identify their role in the control of individual GA responses using physiological analyses.
