Growth and Development of the axr1 Mutants of Arabidopsis
C. Lincoln, J. H. Britton and M. Estelle
Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405
We have recovered eight new auxin-resistant lines of Arabidopsis that carry
mutations in the AXR1 gene. These eight lines, together with the 12 lines
described in a previous report, define at least five different axr1
alleles. All of the mutant lines have a similar phenotype. Defects include
decreases in plant height, root gravitropism, hypocotyl elongation, and
fertility. Mutant line axr1-3 is less resistant to auxin than the other
mutant lines and has less severe morphological abnormalities. This
correlation suggests that the morphological defects are a consequence of a
defect in auxin action. To determine whether the altered morphology of
mutant plants is associated with changes in cell size or tissue
organization, tissue sections were examined using scanning electron
microscopy. No clear differences in cell size were observed between
wild-type and mutant tissues. However, the vascular bundles of mutant stems
were found to be less well differentiated than those in wild-type stems.
The auxin sensitivity of rosette-stage plants was determined by spraying
plants with auxin solutions. Mutant rosettes were found to be significantly
less sensitive to exogenously applied auxin than wild-type rosettes,
indicating that the AXR1 gene functions in aerial portions of the plant.
Our studies suggest that the AXR1 gene is required for auxin action in
most, if not all, tissues of the plant and plays an important role in plant
development. Linkage studies indicate that the gene is located on
chromosome 1 approximately 2 centiMorgans from the closest restriction
fragment length polymorphism.
