Phenotypic Suppression of the Gibberellin-Insensitive Mutant (gai) of Arabidopsis
R. N. Wilson and C. R. Somerville
Carnegie Institution of Washington, 290 Panama Street, Stanford, California 94305 (C.R.S.)
The semidominant gibberellin-insensitive (gai) mutant of Arabidopsis
thaliana shows impairment in multiple responses to the plant hormone
gibberellin A3, which include effects on seed germination, stem elongation,
apical dominance, and rapid flowering in short days. Results presented here
show that the gai mutation also interferes with development of fertile
flowers in continuous light. Mu-tagenesis of the gai mutant resulted in
recovery of 17 independent mutants in which the gibberellin-insensitive
phenotype is partially or completely suppressed. Sixteen of the suppressor
mutations act semidominantly to restore gibberellin responsiveness. One
representative of this class, the gar1 mutation, could not be genetically
separated from the gai locus and is proposed to cause inactivation of the
gai gene. The exceptional gar2 mutation partially suppresses the gai
phenotype, is completely dominant, and is not linked to the gai locus. The
gar2 mutation may define a new gene involved in gibberellin signaling. A
recessive allele of the spindly (SPY) locus, spy-5, was also found to
partially suppress the gai mutant phenotype.
