  • abi4

Phenotype

abscisic acid resistant, reduced sensitivity to ABA inhibition of germination, germinates in the presence of 5 microM ABA; dormancy response appears to be as expected for abi4; reduced sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of sugars on early seedling development, germinates and forms seedlings with expanded cotyledons and true leaves on concentrations of glucose (0.3 M), sucrose (0.3 M) or sorbitol (0.4 M) that inhibit these processes in wt plants; slightly decreased sensitivity to mannose (2mM) on germination and early seedling development; decreased sensitivity to the presence of the GA biosynthesis inhibitor paclobutrazol (35mg/L ); does not exhibit compromised water relations, not wilty; same as sis5-2.
