Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center

Description:

This set of stocks can be used with the Life in Bloom Advanced module to demonstrate concepts of plant development and hormone physiology. Through these activities, students will attempt to germinate one reference strain and four mutant strains of Arabidopsis in light and dark conditions both with and without the addition of external GA. Students will observe the results and draw conclusions about the effect of different mutations involved in the production of and response to GA.

Growth Requirement: ga1-2 and ga1-4 require 100 micro-molar gibberellic acid (GA) for germination

Marker:

Background:

ABRC Comment: This module includes three procedures and three assignments. It requires nine days for completion of all activities. For a less complex experiment exploring the role of GA in germination see "Life in Bloom Basic" (CS27971).
