Dwarf Mutants of Maize — Research Tools for the Analysis of Growth

  • Conference paper
Book cover Plant Growth Substances 1988

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present and analyze selected information concerning genetic dwarfism in maize. This includes the current status of the GA mutants and the description and evaluation of selected dwarf mutants that do not respond to GAs. Additional information on GAs and genetic dwarfism is available in a number of recent reviews [e.g. 5, 15, 17, 23].
